other than Gould, very limited offensive exposure to any other D-1 program, starting with Shaw.  same is true for recruiting as well.

Don't forget, Shaw started at Western Washington before spending time with spent time with at four different Pro teams before he came  to college coaching. He has seen the Elephant, and has plenty of coaching experience. FWIW, I think Pro coaching experience is probably more valuable as far as learning football goes, because that is all you do. There is no recruiting, etc. Shaw's experience is fine.
Pritchard's experience may be fine too. While one could question the situation with Burns and Chryst, it is hard to say that he is responsible for those issues. Chryst didn't exactly light it up in his new school, although there are mitigating problems there as well. For sure, if you blame Pritchard for Chryst, you have to credit him for KJ. Not sure the signal to noise ratio is high enough to know anything at this point. I don't so much worry about Pritchard as OC hurting Stanford, because if Shaw doesn't think he is cutting it, he will take action. He understands this is a business for the coaches. He is a coach's son. It is more for Pritchard's sake that I worry about his resume.
