Sigh ....  David Shaw is like Harbaugh before him.  He wants to mentor a young QB who resembles him rather than trust a guy that's an unknown quantity. 

Harbaugh is to competitive Tavita as Shaw is to steady Nunes.

I voted for no change but it doesn't mean I like it.

Did anyone happen to notice Taysom Hill's numbers (in his first start) from last night's 47-0 BYU win over Hawai'i?

12 of 21 for 112 yards, 2 TDs, 1 Int
15 carries for 143 yards and a TD

I guess we'll never find out, will we?

Garvin, it seemed to me that Harbaugh locked in on Tavita Pritchard after the US.C upset game and stayed with him through thick and thin.  Remember how he red shirted Andrew Luck in favor of Pritchard?  I attributed this to Harbaugh finding a kindred spirit that he leaned on to change the culture and spirit of the team beyond what I saw on Saturday afternoons.

I liked Tavita, I rooted for Tavita, i'd want my daughter to date Tavita (should I ever be convinced to let her date before turning 35!) but I wasn't always sure he gave us the best chance to win.  Did you see it differently in those years?

By the way he's shown similar patience with a sometimes embattled Alex Smith as coach of the 49ers.

"Remember how he red shirted Andrew Luck in favor of Pritchard? "

There was an article a while back where luck was quoted as saying that  Harbaugh offered him the job as a freshman but he refused because he had yet to beat anyone out.

Here is why Taysom Hill switched to BYU:

"Hill said the primary reason he didn’t return to Stanford had nothing to do with Harbaugh at all, or his replacement, David Shaw.

Rather, Hill said he learned on his mission that Stanford does not allow incoming freshmen to join the team until June each year. Hill returned home after two years in Australia last December, enrolled at BYU in January, and immediately received a scholarship.

""Stanford wanted me to come home four or five months early from my mission, and be home for last football season," Hill said. "And I didn’t want to do that. So they said I could come home when I did, but would [have to] be at home [in Pocatello, Idaho] for four or five months before I could get into school. I didn’t want to do either of those options."Hill said the primary reason he didn’t return to Stanford had nothing to do with Harbaugh at all, or his replacement, David Shaw.

Apparently, Stanford + 4-5 months of vacation = BYU.
