How many Shaw assistants have advanced their careers after working under him?

Is there any former Shaw assistant who has become a Head Coach other than Mason, who will be fired after this season after never having a winning one? Has any former Shaw position coach become a coordinator?

I'm not sure any coach who has coached under Shaw has ever ascended. If you look at even Pep Hamilton and Jason Tarver - arguably the most renowned former Shaw assistants - they are now NFL position coaches, not coordinators.

There are three types of effective coaches:

1. Climbers - hungry young coaches who operate with their hair in fire
2. Loyalists - coaches excel because they have a great head coach demanding them to perform and don't want to leave them
3. Achievers - the elite coaches who have been climbers, but finally settle somewhere, and never get lazy no matter how much they are paid

There are three types of ineffective coaches:

1. Peters - they get a shot at coaching, just aren't very good and show they can't handle promotions (Peter principle)
2. Holdovers - they aren't the ones who built a program from ashes, but take it over after the one who did leaves, and they can't sustain
3. Complacent - these coaches have achieved at a high level, been highly compensated, lauded, and get lazy

You want your Head Coach to be an Achiever. Unfortunately, there aren't many of these guys. If you get one you hold on to him for dear life, but the worst thing you can do is commit to someone who isn't.
