Wow, Stanford's 'defense' has been giving up 16 points per play lately, so interesting spread.

Brian Kelly doesn't seem the type to run up the score on Shaw though.  The two of them have a lot in common I'd say. Kelly is just slightly better at making necessary changes (or being forced into it), and has more institutional support.  I bet Kelly's results would look a lot like Shaw's if he were at Stanford.

Evidence suggests that Kelly is dramatically better than Shaw at making changes. Look at the record. The Athletic article describes Kelly as the Anti-Shaw when it comes to quality of staff and the ability to delegate. BTW, BK has no qualms about cashiering assistants who are underachievers.
