Shaw has a ridiculously good gig here with permanent roots, a much-higher-than-you-think compensation and a media and a fan base that doesn't care too much whether he wins or loses. I'm happy with nine win seasons because I remember the days when people suggested that Stanford give up football.
We've gone to ten straight bowl games. Could he use an OC? I think so. Do I wish he were less conservative? Yup. Am I 90%+ satisfied with Coach Shaw? You betcha...
I agree . All factors considered, Stanford is fortunate to have Shaw.
Most college head coaches seem to consider the recruiting process a negative. Since Stanford offers a unique combination of top level academics and athletics, is it relatively easy for Shaw to sign qualified football player prospects ? If that's the case then I am thinking Stanford and Notre Dame should be the most coveted head coach jobs.
Maybe I am making a wrong assumption here as I have no idea what percentage of scholarship offers Shaw extends result in player signings.
