It's probably just as well. Assuming Keller Chryst turns out to be the player we think he will, Rosen would have spent the majority of his career at Stanford on the bench behind him. Somehow I don't think that would have flown with Josh, and I bet he would have transferred.

P.S. Rosen supposedly tweeted one time "I know I'm a tool" (or words to that effect), so I don't think it particularly bothers him that some people think he's a pompous ass.

I wouldn't be so sure Rosen would not have beaten our Chryst. In fact, my money would be on Rosen.

I disagree completely.  Unless he finds the true path (which for his sake I hope but doubt) the chemistry would have been horrible, disruptive, and our boys would not have followed him.  This is a team sport.

And given the descriptions of Rosen on this board, I suspect he is not the kind of guy Shaw would prefer to lead his team.  Can you imagine what Rosen would have been like on the sideline at the end of the Orange Bowl?  Chryst, it would seem to me, would take ties in Shaw's evaluation.  Rosen would have to be PHENOMENAL++++.
