And the sprouting number of titles on the org chart:

"There's a misnomer out there that Stanford is swimming in cash," said Shaw, whose coordinators also both hold endowed positions. "We have enough money to do the things we need to do, but we are constantly taking money from donors who are willing to help in any way they can. Especially with the way football coaching salaries have skyrocketed, to be able to offset that through gifts and not have the university bear all that on its own, to free up money for some other things, that's brobdingnagian."

And on extra titles (e.g. "running game coordinator" or "associate head coach"):

These titles also tell potential future employers that the specified assistant is on a head coaching track, not unlike a vice president. For example, Mason is now the head coach at Vanderbilt.

"I think it's great for me, but I think it's also great for that person," said Shaw, who shortly will officially name offensive coordinator Mike Bloomgren as his new "associate" head coach. "I think Derek appreciated that in preparation to be a head coach."

He did.

"The value is placed on responsibility, and those titles assign responsibility," Mason said. "[With Shaw], it was about giving us responsibility as leaders and making sure that we were seen as leaders who can lead."
