There was immediate speculation that Shaw was exiting before the school fired him, but The Athletic spoke with two top administrators in the days leading up to the BYU game and they insisted that the school’s all-time winningest coach was in no danger of being dismissed.

He came back from Thanksgiving and told them he’d decided to step down.

Oh, to have been a fly on the wall at that meeting...
