I WOULD BE ALL IN FOR THIS

I suspect you're not alone.

I wouldn't necessarily be opposed. Most top college programs benefit heavily from a massive overall talent advantage. That isn't necessarily the case at Stanford. You gotta be able to really coach to consistently be competitive there. Their recruiting classes are never elite and are usually in the good to decent range.

With that said, I also can't say I'd be shouting for joy over hiring a college football coach who went 4-8 this year.

Only college coach i want is Ruhle

Stop. You just like his name.

[Mr. Scot]

Shaw's NFL resume' prior to joining Stanford...

Quality Control Assistant - Eagles (1997)
Quality Control Coach - Raiders (1998-2000)
Quarterback Coach - Raiders (2001)
Quarterback / Wide Receiver Coach - Ravens (2002-2004)
Wide Receiver Coach - Ravens (2005)
Passing Game Coordinator - Chargers (2006)

FYI: That final season in San Diego was the year Marty Schottenheimer went 14-2 but got fired anyway. Norv Turner took over the following season.

You can read his college coaching bio here (gostanford.com)

Don't know. Not that I saw in this article, though.

Speculation is that Rhule is interested in the Giants job, though apparently he just signed an extension on his current job. And there's general belief that Jerry Jones will throw his checkbook at either Lincoln Riley or Urban Meyer.

 

I think its the general belief that Tepper will also throw his checkbook at whomever he wants to get.  Teppers is equal to, if not bigger than Jerry's.

Checkbook, yeah.  Prestige, no.

The Cowboys are still considered the most prestigious coaching job in the NFL (which is amazing, given that you have to deal with Jerry Jones).

Oklahoma to Texas is also significantly less of a move than Oklahoma to Charlotte.

There are pros and cons both ways.

Nope just his resume 

[MVPccaffrey]

Would be a fantastic hire, one of the few that might actually be worth moving on from Rivera for.  And of course face of the franchise CMC would be all in on it.

No college coaches. Please FFS. 

Tepper and Snyder coming up in the same sentence is not a good thing either. 

I don't mind college coaches if they have some previous NFL experience ala Pete Carroll or Tom Coughlin.  But if their experience is all college, then no.  The last coach to be successful with no nfl experience was Jimmy Johnson I believe.

Shaw would be interesting, but no to the Oklahoma guy.

please no to urban.  that dude is disgusting.  he can't remember anything, but he can still coach.  ok, sure buddy.  god knows what kind of crap he'll get us into

Urban is not a good dude 

[Soul Rebel]

I too prefer the NFL coaching vs. collegiate coaching track, but Shaw's experience in the NFL is well respected. He is frequently brought up in vacancies, but Shaw always remains loyal to Stanford and can't be pursuaded to leave the collegiate ranks.

He has won the Pac12 title 4 times and has some pretty stout winning percentages against a tough division that includes UW, Wazzou, & Oregon iin the North.

Combined with his knowledge of offenses, QBs and the link to CMC, he is a very realistic target that makes a lot of sense if we go the college route. 

There's a reason organizations keep reaching out to him each offseason, only to be rebuffed.

I don't know why I think it would be funny to see Urban Meyer go to the Cowboys. Have a feeling he and Jerry Jones would be an interesting mix. Wonder if both of their egos can fit in the same conference room at the same time?
