I believe that because of this appointment, we win long term but will take a step or two back in the very short term.  With a new staff maybe a recruit defection or two and the loss of Andrew next year, it will take a while for Shaw to find his rhythm but I think he will stay and be the latest incarnation of TvD and build the program into a true contender that does well generally but also has a few peaks.

More importanly, he is a Stanford Man which JH never was as his presser clearly showed (it was pretty clear that he always lusted after an NFL job).  It is a privilege to be "The Head Coach of Stanford University".

We have had great success with inexperienced, high potential coaches and much less success for well experienced HCs.  The problem as Yvonne always points out, is keeping them.  I think for Shaw this is the mountain top.
