Shaw is a complete asshole.
Agreed. As an alum, what's more troubling than the fact he's not a qualified D1 coach is that he lacks the traits I expect of a Stanford alum -- introspection, self-analysis, humility...

Really? Wow....I'm not sure how to respond to either of these.
We are 6-2, ranked in the top 20 and are a couple of plays from being undefeated WITH Nunes at quarterback and all the other failings of our offense. If we make one or two more plays against Washington, whether it is one or two better throws / reads from Nunes or Montgomery catching one or two more balls or a run blitz on 4th and 1 where Vaughters takes the right hole or......, we beat Washington. The same Washington team that just beat an undefeated and top 10 ranked Oregon State tonight. And IF we a make one or two more plays at Notre Dame or we don't get a couple of terrible calls from Pac-12 refs, we probably win that game.
And somehow Shaw is an ASSHOLE?!?!?!? Settle down people. Look, I know I'm one of the more optimistic fans out there (I'm sure oman would think I'm delusional too) and I agree that Shaw has made plenty of mistakes this year but come on people. We are starting to sound like kal / Notre Dame fans here. Sure Shaw has had some brobdingnagian advantages to start his head coaching career taking over Harbaugh but Shaw's had the most successful start of any head coach is Stanford history. He is 17-4 overall, 2-0 against Cal, 2-0 against USC and 1-1 against Notre Dame. Who doesn't take that?
Shaw's main disadvantage is that he will always be compared to Harbaugh. And he's not Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh is not coming back. Is that what makes Shaw an asshole?
Bio97 - I don't think you're a troll, but calling Shaw an asshole and lacks the traits of a Stanford alum....come on.
