I have no problem with fanaticism.   I just would never presume to know more about football decisionmaking than any D1 coach, let alone the most successful one in Stanford history.

Having played the sport, I know that on the chalk board every offensive play leads to a TD.  However, rarely do the 11 players on the field execute the play as scripted.  One missed block and a TD run becomes a TFL.  Same goes on defense. 

That being said, you have every right to be a hindsight head coach,  just as I have every right to identify your assumed title.

Actually based on percentage Pop Warner at .781 outperforms Shaw at .717. Plus he recruited the guys who help make Tiny Thornhill's first three years the only time Stanford appeared in three consecutive Rose Bowls.
