While I agree not all, maybe even few $4MM/yr. coaches would fit at Stanford, we're not talking about all coaches.  We're talking about Stanford coaches with track records of exceptional performance at Stanford. 

If Stanford wins tomorrow, what other coach has three conference titles in five seasons? He's one win away from going to a major Bowl game for 4/5 years as a head coach.  That's Urban Meyer, Nick Saban territory.  You'd be crazy to think Shaw's agent isn't bringing this up.  If Shaw is worth $4MM/yr. and he is performing at the level he is, why wouldn't Stanford want to increase his compensation to keep him?  He's at least worth double what Dawkins is, right?

It sure would be interesting to see how much revenue Stanford football has brought in to the university as a Top 10 program under Shaw's leadership.
