I agree that Shaw is likely not an Jerk...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. 

Have you ever seen a press conference by any other football coach other than Shaw? If you want to see smug and arrogant, take a look at how Nick Saban, Chip Kelly, Bill Belichick, Bill Parcells, Jim Harbaugh, etc, etc, etc, treat the press.

How about this Saban gem - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/06...62950.html

Seriously, Shaw has made mistakes and the jury is still out on his overall coaching abilities. If you want to complain how he responds to the media, go ahead. But let's have a little perspective. There aren't many coaches who would be "nicer" to the media right now. Not every coach is Mike Riley. If Shaw's answers in press conferences still bother you, I hope you rip on Harbaugh for his press conferences. Or are his results enough to let him skate by?
