I thought the interview was phenomenal.

I see what you did there.

Yes, there was a little "inside humor" in my post, but I really did find the interview quite insightful and a great reflection on David Shaw.  In particular, the part he talked about how he tells his guys there are no open NFL jobs, that you have to beat someone out who already has one in order to get one yourself, so you better be ready - while citing 30% of the early entrants didn't get drafted - really stood out.

People could say it is self-serving for him to preach academics and readiness because that is what Stanford emphasizes, but it's also possible - and I believe the case - that he genuinely does care about the development of young men and their futures.  It's also possible - and I believe the case - that Shaw is at Stanford because these values make Stanford the right place for him.
