The morning after the BYU game, when Stanford will finish either 4-8 or (more likely) 3-9 with just two wins over FBS teams, Shaw will wake up and walk into the bathroom and stare at himself long and hard in the mirror. What, do you suppose, will he be thinking?

"I went in with a good shaving game plan, a good week of prep - lathering, skin conditioning. But, in the end, the razor just did not execute."

-m.

Lol.

Besides saying “time to quit, what do you want  him to say?”  Do you not think Shaw feels the disappointment of the season? He lives it every day. it’s his job. He certainly cares.

I fully get “Shaw must go” sentiment.  I’m on board with that. But I’ve said before I’ll say it again – the character assassination that is sometimes on this board is more than a little bit offputting. I don’t think he deserves that. (While this came up somehow responding to Langdude’s post  that’s not where it was directed. That was at least humorous. We can use some humor given the season.).

I’m talking about the continual references to smug , smirking, and the money.  Especially the suggestion he doesn’t care.

Of course he cares.  He cares in a big way.  But he hasn't shown that he cares enough to make the necessary changes, and that, in turn, irks fans and triggers such snide comments.  When a head coach finishes a season 3-9, makes zero changes to the program and repeats that performance the following year, he's setting himself up for a raft of criticism and facetious comments.  And, yes, humor is always a nice medicine when the pain threshold of a fan base has been breached.
