Shaw is also a bit spoiled.  Until year 3 of the sainted Harbaugh,  the Chron hardly believed real football was being played down on the peninsula. 

I wonder if Shaw sees it that way. Most coaches would not hold a press conference if they weren't obligated by their school/league, from what I understand. True, getting in the paper increases your recruiting profile, but all in all, I think these guys would be happier going from the game/practice to the film room to focus on next week's opponent. In my opinion, Harbaugh benefited from being under the radar those first few years, so no one would scrutinize his coaching mistakes. Shaw has had the burden of being a rookie/sophomore with national expectations on his program.
