Jim Harbaugh will not be available. How about David Shaw ?

He has only been a head coach for two years, but he has done very well. It is not easy to win at Stanford.

Shaw was Harbaugh's passing game cooridinator at the University of San Diego and Harbaugh brought him along to Stanford as his OC, where he flourished.

Shaw also is no stranger to the pro game, having served as an assistant for the Eagles, Raiders and Ravens. He runs what is very much a pro-style system at Stanford.

He is the main reason Andrew Luck was considered the most Pro ready quarterback to come out of college in many years.

My guess is that if you ain't good, you don't stick as Harbaugh's OC for 7 seasons.

The guy is super smart and no nonsense, just like his mentor.

My guess is that JR will want to go for a proven NFL head coach, but I think Shaw deserves a serious look.

I don't think Shaw is going to last long at Stanford...somebody is going to ****** him up.

I actually suggested this in the new head coach thread a while back, he looks like he could be a real find. I'd be willing to give him a shot.

And he's Stanford's HC, so he'll have both coordinating and HC experience, albeit at the college level.

edit: it was in the Andy Reid or Norv Turner thread:

No more coordinators please.

Shaw has been the head coach for two years at Stanford. You are not getting Ron Rivera here...This guy knows how to manage games and is a quarterback guru as well as a guy who believes in defense.

Sorry, didn't mean to steal your thunder...I am new to this forum and did not read that thread...

I have just watched a few Stanford games over the last couple of years and have really been impressed with their strong fundamental play and Shaw's demeanor on the sideline.

I agree totally...the guy is going to be a big winner for someone...

I really like Shaw. I think he's going to be a very good NFL HC. It's a bit risky getting a college HC, but his offense is awesome. He runs a power run offense and really utilizes his TE's.

As of late college coaches have been being more successful. Harbaugh is already a stud, and Pete Caroll and Schiano look like they know what they are doing.

Ha no worries, didn't mean to intimate that you stole my thunder! I hope we at least give him a look. We've gone the "NFL defensive coordinator" route with every hire except for Seifert (who was also a defensive coordinator before he was a HC!) so I'm hoping we try a different approach this time.

Why? Because we had one bad choice in Rivera? Not every coordinator would make bad choices, imo.

Look at Mike Smith, Mike Tomlin, and Mike McCarthy, John Harbaugh as prime examples.

Also, why do folks automatically think that a previous HC will do wonders? In case anyone has forgotten, we have had a previous HC... and it failed.

Capers - Steelers D-coordinator before Panthers HC

Fox - Giants D-coordinator before Panthers HC

Seifert - SF HC (but, as I stated, was SF's D-coordinator before its HC) before Panthers HC

Rivera - CHI and SD D-coordinator before Panthers HC

I'd prefer a different approach this time.

    • They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers
    • Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.
    • Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
