I can't understand why every team in the NFL is not trying to interview David Shaw

Sec... Pac 12He wins much more than Sumlin
Breh, his playcalling was conservative w/ Luck, Ty Montgomery, Owusu, Fleener, Ertz and the big samoan. He played for a fg in thay Fiesta Bow(Luck's last gm). Harbaugh and Roman were way better playcallers.The academic standards at Stanford are rough; the current offense at Stanford is probably by design because of that. Get you some monsters up front on the DL and OL. That's why we haven't seen a lot of spread and air raid type offenses out of Stanford. That's why you I think Shaw stays for awhile, unless Stanford starts getting greedy and thinking
11 wins per season ain't easy no matter the conference clownSec... Pac 12

Didn't he go to Stanford? He probably gets crazy investment opportunities and shyt. He wants to be like Lou holtz or a moral joe pa out there
Who u callin a clown, bish
A&M would win more in that conference too
Nah breh, Shaw is just a better coach than Sumlin. Look at the type of teams he builds with "minimal" talent as @Swagnificent would probably refer to them as. He knows how to coach em up, and is a great gameplanner.

I honestly don't even like Sumlin, I just like that he takes chances. I wpulfnt want either to coach my squad.
Id take Kiffin over bouf of em

Plus its not the end of the world if he loses a game or two at Stanford in a season because its an academic school first before anything. Alot of big time college coaches don't even have that luxury

The Takeover
If I was a NFL owner id be trying to see how much it would cost to get Tom Hermann out of Houston
Equal or minimally more?
Stanford cannot pay what even the lowest tier NFL job pays. Shaw is making $3 mil, compare that to Chip Kelly who got $7 mil for jumping to the NFL. Or a bum like Jason Garrett getting $6 mil. Guarantee Shaw could double his salary jumping in to the NFL. And that's aside from the allure of competing at the highest level.Chip Kelly left college and ain't trying to go back. Mora and Sumlin are trying to get to the NFL according to a story I read. Nobody is willingly staying in college when a good NFL job comes knocking.
He would be perfect for the Niners but he saw how they treated his boy Harbs

Breh, Bob Stoops has been a candidate to coach the Browns literally every year for 15 years
And everytime the talk comes up, his salary magically goes up. He's making $5.5 mil at this point. Sumlin is in trouble. His name is tarnished. Of course he wants to jump. Mora is an NFL guy thu and thru....he's just coaching college to get his NFL rep back.
Chip Kelly didn't leave college, he was essentially forced to quit b/c the NCAA was bout to drop that hammer on him.

Has Stoops ever once even interviewed for an NFL job? I don't think he's ever seriously considered jumping. That doesn't speak to anything other than the fact that he wants to stay in college. So did Paterno and Bowden back in the day. Some guys are college lifers - a few outliers doesn't change the fact that most want to get to the NFL like Mora and Sumlin are. You can try to rationalize the reason why however you want but the fact is they are trying to leave college.
Chip had rumors about going to the NFL forever. The show cause penalty was a slap on the wrist. He didn't leave cause of that, he left cause he wanted to coach at the highest level and his salary went from $2.8 mil to $7 mil. Let's be real.

The lower tier of the NFL coaching ranks make $3.5 mil a year. Shaw made $3 mil. I'm pretty sure Stanford can come up with 500K if they felt it was necessary. Stanford has 14 billionaire alumni. Finding money to pay the man wouldn't be hard.
Shaw has been in the NFL as not only a player, but an assistant coach. He knows what it would take to be the head coach. It appears at this point that he doesn't see any benefit to go coach in the NFL. Average tenure for an NFL coach is 4.39 seasons. He's already has 5 at Stanford. Why go to the NFL where you're always on the hot seat if you aren't winning/making the playoffs vs a job in college where academics come first (Stanford not all schools) and winning football games is a added bonus.

A few days after Shaw, 39, got the Stanford job, he had a quiet moment in his office with his father, Willie, a longtime assistant coach in college and the N.F.L.
“We closed the door and we hugged and there were tears,” Shaw said. “It was one of the best moments of my life.”
The embrace celebrated two dreams fulfilled. The tears were shed for Willie Shaw’s lost dream, which helped forge a path for David to get the head coaching job he never could.
