David Shaw out at Stanford. Could they come after one of JH's assistants?

Hey…just enjoy the weekend. Go Blue. 
 

And lots of teams will want out assistant coaches because they are good.  

True enough, they could.  This is a first world problem and one that we’ll certainly hear about all off season.  It stinks to lose top assistants but Harbaugh has proven extremely adept and bringing in good replacements.  Top people want to work for bosses that grow and promote, so in a way it also helps to get poached.  

Already posted. 

And usually you go away from whatever you were before.

I'd expect them to go with a hot name at OC. I suppose that could've been Gattis last year, but again, I'd think they go away from the Harbaugh well and try to do a 180.

Alex Goelish at Tennessee is a random name that comes to mind. 

I was thinking less about what assistants might get poached and more about the potential for transfers, given the high academic standards. 

Josh Gattis will be available.

Why even post this? Seriously? 

Do you realize how many years it’s been since Harbaugh coached there? Ohio State has had FOUR head coaches in that span.

Lots of coaching jobs are open every year, including NFL ones, I see no reason why we should be extra special scared of Stanford in particular wanting our coaches.

edit to add: Also they suck so it doesn’t seem like a great career move.

Nobody on the staff has Stanford connections, and Jim will be a little busy (you know, preparing for the CFP) to help with their search.

Unfortunately, after yesterday's performance, I bet Minter's voicemail is already filling up.

The AD better have their checkbook open already!

Maybe but I could see them just as easily deciding that they want to move on from that lineage entirely.

Can we enjoy one single day without someone bringing up something bad.  Such a Michigan fan post.

Was inevitable, but I'm sorry to see him fail. Shaw is a super high integrity guy, really open and thoughtful in interviews. Did everything the right way...until he stopped winning.

His first few years post-Harbaugh he seemed like the perfect successor, but it was clearly time for him to go.

I don't have any connection to Stanford (other than proximity), but I always root for schools that prioritize academics. Would love to see Stanford and Cal become more competitive - NW too. It's good for the sport when non-football factories succeed.

And as for how this impacts us - maybe Shaw is a possible assistant candidate? Smart guy, knows Harbaugh and his system, can recruit fertile NorCal.
