Shaw's son Carter is a walk on at UCLA this year. From today's LA Times.
Quote: David Shaw was spotted on campus this week in a UCLA shirt. It’s true. The former Stanford coach who once presided over eight consecutive victories over the Bruins is now happily wearing blue and gold. His son, Carter, is a freshman walk-on wide receiver at UCLA. Kelly said the elder Shaw, who resigned last November after going 96-54 to become the winningest coach in Stanford history, would split his time between working for the NFL Network and watching sons Carter and Gavin play football. No, for those wondering, he’s not going to be an analyst for the Bruins.
“David’s going to be there,” Kelly said, pointing to a group of UCLA family and boosters watching practice from the ledge of the Luskin Center. “I think if you asked David — and I’m not being sarcastic — he’s just really proud to be a UCLA dad and that’s his role is to just be the father of Carter and watch his kid play. “So David’s role is as a UCLA dad and very, very close friend of mine, but he’s not doing anything football-wise for us or anything like that. … I’m happy to have a UCLA dad like that on our side.”
"We have an unwritten rule around here not to do anything stupid."
