I agree that Shaw is likely not an asshole...if he were it would probably be reflected in all aspects of his job as coach, including recruiting kids.  But he is smug and arrogant.  He treats the press with disdain.  Watch all of his press conferences and he talks to the press as if they are all total idiots and as if he knows better than everyone else.  I recall the press conference where he said all the fans were ready to bronze Nunes' arm after the USC game...no fans said anything like that!  We all - at least on this board and in the stands - agreed that Nunes still sucks.  Either Shaw is out of touch with reality, or just thinks by making strong statements, we should just believe him.  As if he can see something in Nunes that none of us can.  I don't expect him to throw players under the bus when talking to the media, but pretending like things are good insults all of us.  No one wants to be treated like a dummy, let alone a Stanford educated fan, and certainly not by a coach who keeps going to battle with the worst QB in the Pac-12 without a good explanation as to why.

There is something personal between Shaw and Nottingham(Nottingham family).  There is no other reason why Nottingham wouldn't get at least one series.  What harm would one series do? End in a pic-six? C'mon.
