truefalcon Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 David Shaw, Head Coach, StanfordFans are wowed by Chip Kelly's spread-out, up-tempo offense in Philadelphia, but NFL coaches want to know how to stop it. Enter David Shaw. His Stanford defense held Oregon to just 14 points during the 2012 season by playing smart, disciplined, gap-controlled defense.Shaw may follow Jim Harbaugh into the NFL, but he's not a Jim Jr. in any way. Shaw is more Tom Coughlin than Harbaugh with his quiet, sturdy leadership and structure.College coaches who don't win big in college can struggle to win over an NFL locker room, but Shaw's reputation precedes him. The Stanford program is the real deal, and Shaw's work as offensive coordinator for Andrew Luck is well known. It also helps that he was in the NFL as a wide receivers coach from 1997 until 2005, when he followed Harbaugh to the University of San Diego.Shaw is ready for the NFL and should start hearing his phone ring as soon as an NFL team is ready to move on from their head coach. He could have a new head coaching job after this season...if he wants one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Flare Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'm still waiting on our current "potential head coach," Mike Smith, to be fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndySG Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 He's doing a great job at Stanford, but he'd have to completely overhaul our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didz Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Give me Baylor's coach or A&M's coach with Manziel. Ticket sales, merchandise and wins through the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert_Falcon Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Give me Baylor's coach or A&M's coach with Manziel.

falconfanEST1989 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'm still waiting on our current "potential head coach," Mike Smith, to be fired.i secretly come back to the boards every few hours hoping to see a thread that says SMITTY FIRED!!! with about 8 pages of comments... but alas still no such thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nivek843SAV Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 It's possible Mike Smith just steps aside after this season. Would love to see new blood with the Falcons. What was the point of hiring an new coordinators and running the same ole stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOR Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I really like Shaw. That USC game has me a little worried though. Oregon-USC is kind of like the NFL playoffs. They came off a huge win and then suffered an upset the next week. Yikes. I know it happens a lot in CFB, but for a potential NFL coach I would like to see that not happen. Every week in the playoffs is a big week. Letting your guard down will get you eliminated and the same place the Falcons are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threepac Daddy Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 i would wait another year or two and see if the program stumbles a bit. college coaches to the nfl is bigger gamble than a highly touted coordinator thats in the nfl. if the falcons dont want him, i wouldnt mind floirda taking a run at him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
