I think it says all you need to know that Pat Fitzgerald’s name is being tossed around and Shaw’s isn’t at the moment. Shaw may want the NFL, but does the NFL want Shaw? He’s now failed to win 10 games 3 straight seasons and it is objectively clear he has slipped and hasn’t found a way to get back on top.

I agree Shaw should go now because next year’s schedule is even more brutal than this year’s. Trade SDSU for at UCF and UC Davis for Northwestern, and then Notre Dame, and the conference slate. Truly insane for a program to do this to itself.

Isn't it possible Shaw's name isn't being tossed around because he has never shown any interest in the NFL and teams are getting tired of asking?
As far as next year's schedule is concerned, I suspect these games were scheduled when Northwestern and UCF weren't nearly as strong as they are now.
So to say it was insanity because they have become powerful isn't terribly accurate.
I do agree that if Shaw wanted to go to the NFL the time to do it was when he had gone to three Rose Bowls in four years. That is not going to consistently happen at Stanford.
