I read somewhere that Tavita Pritchard is being considered....

You might have read it in Tom Fitzgerald's column in The Chronicle: http://www.sfchronicle.com/collegesports...408504.php

Given from what I have seen in the past Tom Fitzgerald, I would guess that this inside information came either from inside his own head or from inside the Cardboard (or other message board).

I'd love to see a shakeup with Troy Walters.

As many have pointed out in other threads, hiring Walters to be Stanford's OC would either require Shaw to completely alter the fundamental concept that the Stanford offense has been built (and recruited) upon or require Walters to coordinate an offense far different from any that he has experience with.

Both are possible, but I would say this alone makes Walters a long shot; not even considering phogge's repeated hints that the two of them don't get along in some manner.

I would think they'd have to consider Pritchard for the coordinator job. To not consider him or not offer him an interview would be something of an indictment, don't you think?

No I don't.

Pritchard has five years experience as a proper coach (three more as an untitled assistant), all at Stanford. That's very light for an OC position.

If Shaw were to hire internally, I would think that Ron Gould would be a more likely candidate: with about 25 years of coaching experience, a sterling reputation as a RB coach, four years as a college head coach, and 5 years as an Associate Head Coach at a Power 5 program.

Of course that would require that Shaw trusts Gould and that they see eye to eye on how to approach the offense - I have no information on that front.
