David Shaw - Stanford

[aubietiger14 147]

I saw this morning where David Shaw stepped down at Stanford.  Would Auburn ever consider him?

He’s spent almost his entire career on the west coast, and had no SEC experience. He also runs a now way outdated offense. Hard pass.

I would hope not, no.

I looked him up yesterday. Outside of this year Tulane has been horrible under him. I was hoping to find a solid coach there but I was disappointed when I looked him up

You are sort of correct.  He had to rebuild Tulane (hard to do where the best go elsewhere.  He is #43 on the list of 173 for active coaches winningest active coaches.  There are many more on that list that would work out better for us.

He’s been a HC since ‘97…has never been hired anywhere higher than Tulane in 25 years and won 2 games last year in his 6th season at Tulane. He could actually be a step down from Harsin if that’s possible.

He went 3-9 the last two seasons. 

We're probably talking to him right now.

His family loves California. Didn't you guys whine because the last coach's family did not "fit" into or embrace Auburn Culture? He is not leaving Pal Alto to come to Auburn, Alabama

Well, rumor is the "mystery" candidate is another west coast coach. Unless it's Charles Kelly and someone got it confused with Chip.

If this search does go on into the week, the only hope we can have is it's an NFL coach or a coach that's playing a conference championship game and playoffs. 

There were some Auburn people on Reddit 2 weeks ago throwing around Kliff Kingsbury's name. They said he is getting fired from the Arizona Cardinals and to watch for his name to surface late. That's VERY JABA if it were to happen. He was terrible at Texas Tech and parlayed that into a damn NFL head coaching gig where he has underperformed. I doubt that happens though.

Isn't USC and Oregon playing for the PAC 12 title saturday? Maybe it's Dan Lanning and he wants to coach that game before coming here. I saw that Kenny Dillingham is either talking to Arizona State for the HC gig or he is taking that job. Who knows. We still might be in for a huge shocker like LSU was with Brian Kelly. 

Pac-12 is USC vs Utah

Shaw played at Stanford from 91-94 under Dennis Green and Bill Walsh. He coached under Jim Harbaugh at Stanford as the OC. Then he was named HC. He has refused to change his offensive scheme to better fit the current play and it has shown in his terrible record the last few years. He is 3-15 the past 2 years in conference games. He would've been fired awhile ago but he is one of their own so he had a long leash. They allowed him to "step down" rather than fire him.
