Looking some more, Warner was only 5-1-3.  Ralston was 7-2-0 and Willingham was 7-0-0, so with Shaw currently setting at 6-0-0 he could tie the record this week.

Also he was 3-1 as a player and 2-2 as an assistant, so he's been a part of 11 wins -- not counting his time when he was merely Willie Shaw's son.

A Stanford win would break the record for the longest streak of consecutive Big Game wins.

Stanford has twice (1995-2001 / 2010-current) won seven straight.

Cal's longest win streak over Stanford is five (1919-1923 / 2002-2006). The Bears went 6-0-2 between 1947-1954).

Yeah, I phrased it pretty poorly. Here's what will happen with a Big Game win:

• Shaw will set the all time record for wins by a Stanford head coach (currently tied with Pop Warner)
  
• Shaw will tie Willingham as coaches with the most Big Game wins
  
• Stanford will have the longest streak of Big Game wins
  

I just think it's fitting that Cal is the team he will have the opportunity to break the overall record against.

It certainly makes it all the cooler.  This is a big Big Game.  A Bigger Game, if you will.

How fitting.  Back in 77 and 78 when I was in awe of Walsh I, I heard stories about Pop Warner and thought "no one can ever pass him....the modern era and our elite academic status just won't permit it."

I was wrong.  Shaw has figured out a way.

That's the interesting and impressive thing.  Getting to 72 wins at a school shouldn't be that hard.  Average seven wins a year over ten years.  But would any coach that averages seven wins a year last ten years anymore, and at Stanford would any coach that averages ten plus wins a year as Shaw has, stay as long as he has?  As others have said in the thread, Shaw staying when so successful is the biggest thing.
