Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

David Shaw = Don James

Why haven't you Doog's figured this out and why hasn't the campaign to get him starter?

He's at a school that hates football and he's blick which would totally fit the Seattle progressiveness narative.

    Um, why would he go to another school that hates football?

    Don James took over for the best coach in school history?

    Excluding the anomaly of 91 Don James had teams that played a tough style of offense and an attacking defense with big physical players.

    If there were a legit team in the conference they would win it. If there wasn't the Doogfather would win it.

    That is today's David Shaw. He is exactly what you people have been wanting. He's in Palo Alto. That's an easy place for the steal.

    The closest coach to Don James is at Michigan State. The title is coming. It probably won't be this year, but it will happen before he retires.

    He actually has a decent shot this year. Bama won't be able to score much against them

    Shaw has his Rose Bowl ring against Sparty.

    On that note, maybe we should just go ahead and hire Saban.

    Shaw is a Stanford guy all the way. He isn't leaving Palo Alto probably ever. He's not leaving Stanford for UW or any other Pac-12 team. Anyway, he has a contract ...

    When was Don James the worst red zone offense play caller in college football?

    Wait, I thought Meyer and Saban were the kings. What happened?

    Shaw is good, but he also took over a successful program that was already on a roll. Sounds like another coach we know.

    I don't think UW will ever hire a black coach who won the Pac-10/12 at Stanford ever again

    So is it the coach or is it the players or is it the program?

    Seems to change on a daily basis.

    Sounds like nobody will ever win it legitimately until it's washington.

    We're all waiting.

    In the meantime everyone else will just keep winning it even though they don't deserve it.

    Of course, all of our white coaches have been smashing successes.

    So the big "BCS" bowls James won are just anomalies, since the Big 10 also couldn't field a "legit team"?

    Fuck you are fucking retarded.

    No. 91 is an anomaly because they might have actually been the best team in the country. Stanford under Shaw isn't every fielding the nation's best team except for a once in two decade miracle, like with Don James.

    Stanford now, like UW were always tough and solid. If there wasn't a great team in the conference they would win it.

    If Adams is healthy all year Oregon wins the conference with ease. Adams breaks his finger, Stanford leans on everyone all year and at the end they win the conference. Are they the best team now that the season is over? Nope, but they don't need to be a well oiled machine like Oregon does to beat decent teams.

    The Pac-12 is and has always been dreck. UW was great with Don James because they were consistent which is why Stanford is great under Shaw. They're the same coach.

    Mosster has replaced blitzkrieg as the dumbest poaster on this board. Maybe they are the same guy.

    I think that's the SEC narrative.

    Shaw is a solid coach and Stanfraud is similar to those Washington teams, but it's way too early to crown him as anything.

    Shaw inherited a 1 loss team that was Harbaugh tough, and turned it into a team that averages 3 losses a year, and has never had fewer than 2 losses.

    How is that like James?

    He's my favorite coach in CFB. That style is perfect for UW too, oh what I'd give to be a team like that. Sigh.

    Nothing happened. They still are.
