It's a little hard to believe that someone who played on the practice fields while his father coached linebackers and defensive backs, played on the Stanford team, and even proposed to his wife outside Mem Chu would not be considered to "bleed Stanford red," especially since not all players are given the opportunity to coach straight out of school. Nevertheless, I think Shaw's elevating former Stanford players to grad assistantships and assistant coaching positions demonstrates his commitment to Stanford.
Other than Shaw, there's women's tennis coach Lele Forood. She did spend time on the pro circuit before coaching here 25 years ago, and she did drop out early rather than continue to play on her own dime -- no women's tennis scholarships back in the 1970s, so I suppose that would disqualify her under the narrow definition of bleeding Stanford red, which apparently means playing at Stanford and never having a job outside Stanford.
