Sporting Green front page article on Stanford and Shaw. Shaw’s non responsive response to reporters, recruiting disadvantages, underperforming recruits, etc. Shaw probably reading it with his little shit eating grin on.

The pressure must be getting to Shaw. He has been arrogant before and often unaware of his shortcomings but I have never heard him get snippy with a reporter before.

This may be the end for a decent man who could not be truthful with himself. I always wonder if he had fully reevaluated things after the 2019 season whether things could have been different. When he made no changes to an obviously deficient coaching staff after the 2021 season I knew he was cooked. The question now is when does he get pulled out of the oven.

I hope he resigns rather than being fired.

Given his legacy I suspect he'll be gently elevated upward and outward. "HC Emeritus" or something. But the longer he hangs on the more he becomes a embarrassment to everybody. Of course, kicking and screaming would be better theater, but unlikely. Still, even he has an expiration date. Pretty sad, actually, but he brought it on all by himself.
