A few have moved on for other opportunities, but I don't recall any being dismissed. I agree with what most people are saying here regarding Shaw's future -- I can't imagine him going to the NFL, and I can't imagine him being fired. The only way we're going to see anything different, particularly with the offense, is if we see changes on the staff. Right now I can't imagine there are any teams looking to hire anyone away from the Stanford staff, so only a complete meltdown this season or strong urging from Bernard Muir might convince Shaw to make some changes. That's the hope.
One more thing -- Prince's best album is Sign O' the Times.
I can imagine Shaw being fired, but not by Muir. As for "strong urging" I don't see that coming from Muir either. But I have to believe that Muir is on the hot seat right now. He's really screwed things up in major ways the last few years.
I can't remember any of Shaw's assistants leaving without taking another job, but they could have been told to go find something else.
