I don’t like UW. But Petersen seems like a class act.

As a theoretical exercise, which current FBS head coach would be Stanford's first choice if David Shaw was not head coach?

Assuming that you can't go home again (meaning Harbaugh) I think Chris Petersen would be at the top of the list.

There are only a handful of proven winners at power 5 schools, and the majority would not be good fits for Stanford in terms of commitment to academics and running a clean program.
