Every year we get him beyond this one feels like cheating.

I remember an interview where Mason said thing similar to what Shaw says, he just loves it at Stanford. Loves the environment, loves the kids, loves where the program is. I can't say I blame him, jumping ship would be good for his career, but those opportunities will still be there later. I wouldn't be shocked if he stays for a year or two more (though I would be surprised).

After reading the article, it's nice but not a super article in terms of being informative. I was also annoyed by the author's characterization of the team as a bunch of plucky, unathletic overachievers. There are going to be a lot of NFL players from this defense, as we know.

EDIT: I thought Chris Brown (of Grantland) had a much better piece: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9508313/after-offseason-searching-nfl-coaches-know-how-defend-read-option
