Quote:Well, yes, that's my point.
But you still haven't explained how does the nature of the industry impact Shaw's "Stanford-ness?" Everything I've read about Shaw was that he wanted to attend Stanford from the time he was a kid and that his dream was to fulfill his dad's missed opportunity to be head coach.
Maybe he he'll leave voluntarily before reaching 40 years at the helm, at which point we'll say "Marques was most dedicated to Stanford than Shaw." But even then, I would argue that the stress and strain of a football head coaching position means it's inherently more difficult to stay in a position a long time. But that won't mean Shaw is any less Stanford than Marques.
