All men must rumor mill (Texas) - washingtonismoney - 12-15-2013
Sportsbook installs Shaw as favorite for Texas job! (http://www.covers.com/articles/articles.aspx?theArt=349716)

In this case "sources" must be "literally anyone who's been paying any attention whatsoever".

Sportsbook is blind as a bat. Not worth the medium on which it's delivered.

TL;DR (Emphasis mine):
"2. David Shaw, Stanford
Stanford's coach has run up a tremendous resume playing a physical, dominant style with kids who get work done in the classroom as well.
He's young, passionate and well versed in running a program without every competitive advantage.
How would Shaw do running a program with every competitive advantage? Really damn well.
Fuhrmans odds: 8-1. Stanford didn't miss a beat when Jim Harbaugh left for the San Francisco 49ers. Shaw has shown the knack for getting to BCS bowls, winning games and playing power football. I'm convinced if you can win at Stanford, you can win just about anywhere. Would Shaw, a Cardinal lifer, leave Stanford, though?"
Obviously this guy has never heard of His Royal Ungratefulness.

To be fair, TW never won at the level Shaw has been winning. And he did get ND to a BCS bowl in his first year (with a lot of help from the voters and selection committee.)
