Shaw is just shy of 50. I would take the over on "0". I agree, though, that if he doesn't stay at Stanford for another 10-15 years, and doesn't become a head coach anywhere else, I could see him go into broadcasting.

A few 3-9 and the tune on this board and in the general population would be very different. Hopefully, that never happens. Wanting to prove you can be an NFL coach, that could happen. I could also see the broadcasting route, but I think that works much better for Shaw as an avocation. Doing it day in and day out is a lot different. He has credibility because he is currently "in the biz". That makes it a lot easier.
He seems to really enjoy his NFL Draft gig, so I wouldn't at all be surprised to see him more in that capacity.

https://ucannualwage.ucop.edu/wage/
Wilcox bagged $3,113,334.00. On a per-win basis, Shaw was a relative bargain!
Kelly at UCLA earned $4,313,333.00, so he was a slightly better deal on a per-win basis than Shaw.
Both coaches had losing seasons last season.
Interestingly, UCLA also paid out $3,000,000.00 to one James Mora, so their overall outlays on head football coaches were higher than Stanford's.

For those dreaming of landing better coordinators they had better hope that Stanford is paying something close to 2X that UC system rate.

Tavita Pritchard became offensive coordinator in 2018. Here are the FPI efficiency rankings for offense, defense and special teams since then:
2018: offense 15; defense 37, special teams 8
2019: 60, 90, 41
2020 (six games): 18, 96, 16
2021 (three games): 26, 69, 17
So in the Pritchard era, the offense has ranked better than the defense every year, even in that putrid 2019 year when our starting QB and most of our OL were injured. On the other hand, the special teams has ranked better than the offense each year.
I know I'm spitting metaphorically in the wind, but we are spending way too much time bellyaching about the offense, IMO.

I would be very surprised if they gave any of the $500m to the AD given this from the press release

At the very least it was at his behest and with his knowledge and support. My guess, however, is that the sequence went:
MTL to Drell: Athletics is costing too much money and we need to re-balance our mission (or something equally vague and high-minded).
Drell to Muir: Cut the budget and reduce the number of scholarships
Muir to MTL: The only way I can do this is to cut some sports, is that what you want?
MTL to Muir: Yes
Muir to Stanford: We are cutting 11 sports due to... reasons
Stanford to Muir: WTF?
Muir to Stanford: Sorry, it's been decided, nothing we can do to reverse it.
Stanford to MTL: WTF?
MTL to Stanford: OK, we will save the sports.
One under-appreciated feature about Shaw versus Harbaugh is that John, John, and Bob provided a much more favorable environment to operate under than Mark, Persis, and Bernard. For example, I am virtually certain that under today's administration, Harbaugh's DUI would have been disqualifying. Conversely, I wonder if under the previous administration, Turley would have lost his job for what he did.
