He's heading into his 10th year as our head coach (with no departure date in sight). He's the Dean of P12 coaches now. He is already a "long-term" coach to me...independent of what adaptation we all want from him.

Well, depending on how you count Kyle Whittingham is either the Dean, or tied for the Dean, of P12 coaches.

However, otherwise your point is well taken. Shaw is currently tied for the most seasons as Stanford head football coach (9) with Ralston and Warner but has already coached the most games (120 vs 94 for Ralston vs 96 for Warner) (Winning percentage 72% Shaw, 60% Ralston, 78% Warner).
