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.

1.  The bolded part is a non-sequitur, but I'm happy to agree with it.

2.  The remainder, well, I have a right to say that your description of "hindsight head coach" is total BS.  At least have the decency to not misstate the "assumed title," when you should know better.  

BTW, I also note that you declined to answer the question.  So I take it you watch the game passively, and just assume Coach Shaw is making the best calls possible.  Bully for you.   To each his own.  But I suggest you try thinking while you're watching and test your assumption that Shaw is making sound decisions throughout the game.  

I find it surprising that you actually believe that, but whatever . . .
