In Shaw's nine years as head coach, he has not fired a single assistant coach.

What would the rationale have been?

I’m not going to get into a subjective discussion about which assistants have deserved a pink slip over the past nine years. You can find hundreds if not thousands of posts on this forum dedicated to that topic over the same time period. I actually think Shaw’s loyalty to his assistants is an admirable quality, albeit perhaps a bit too blind at times.

The point of my post was simply to point out an objective fact that I believe is worth keeping in mind when making any predictions regarding Shaw’s future actions as it relates to his staff.
