Has anyone truly said it’s “out of bounds” to criticize Shaw.  I criticize him at times. And I’m obviously a very big supporter. It’s the “tone” of the criticism for lack of a better way of putting it that I sometimes argue against. And mostly I defend what I perceive to be his overall philosophy.

Wonder if this will make any readers here more "open" to the notion that it's not out of bounds to criticize Coach Shaw.  I imagine most here would gladly take "the heat" (and that's an overstatement if there ever was one - do Stanford fans ever really bring heat on a coach?) for a cool $5M per.

Good for Shaw - I'd say he's earned his pay.  But I will never feel sorry for him as a result of any criticism he receives for his coaching decisions.
