Sorry, I don't mind criticism of the playcalling, which was not above reproach, but I do object to insulting Coach Shaw.  After 6 seasons as head coach he has accomplished:
A 64-17 record; 42-12 in conference
A winning season every year
A bowl game every year; 4/6 years a BCS caliber bowl; three Rose Bowls
4-2 records in bowls, 2-1 in Rose Bowls
10 wins in 5 out of his 6 seasons
3 conference championships, 1 other year he tied for first in the P12-North
Never lost a big game
Never lost against UCLA
4-2 against Votre Dame
5-2 against Under Stanford Control (again)

And through it all, he has carried himself with grace and integrity and has run a program we can all be proud of.

Today he played without his starting all-American tailback, he lost his starting QB in the first half, he is facing probably the first QB pick of the draft... in a game that, if we are honest with ourselves, many of us didn't think we could win (and some of us went that way in the pic-em game).  I think for all that he is done, David Shaw has bought himself some respect from the teams fans.  As I said, criticizing the play-calling is to be expected on a board like that, and if I am honest with myself, I think Shaw probably could have squeezed some more points out of the offense, given the number of red zone trips we had in the game.  But I think personal putdowns are beneath us.

Two more nice accomplishments for Shaw --

Shaw has a record of 7-2 in post-season games (3-0 in conference championship games, 4-2 in bowl games). That record was compiled against quality competition. There are no patsies in post-season games.

Shaw has a record of 20-10 against ranked teams. Again, quality competition.
