David Shaw’s Stanford career began as a four-year receiver and included 57 catches for 664 yards and five touchdowns. He also competed in varsity track and varsity basketball while at Stanford before graduating in 1995 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology. Before his appointment as head coach, Shaw served as Stanford’s offensive coordinator over a four-year period in which the Cardinal averaged 40.31 points per game. Shaw’s coaching resume includes nine years of NFL experience with the Philadelphia Eagles, Oakland Raiders and Baltimore Ravens. Coaching is a family affair for Shaw — his father, Willie Shaw, coached at Stanford as well as with NFL teams.
