My Take
David Shaw strikes me as the model of a thoughtful coach. A San Diego kid who played at Stanford, then learned the craft as Jim Harbaugh's offensive coordinator before earning the head job, he embodies the slow, earned ascent I respect. The fact that he was an athlete across sports and a Stanford graduate tells me he pairs instinct with genuine intellect. After more than a decade leading the Cardinal, seeing him back in the trenches as a passing specialist for the Lions is what impresses me most. Reaching the top and choosing to roll up your sleeves again is a quiet kind of greatness.
