STANFORD, Calif. – <\/b>Stanford’s Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football David Shaw<\/dfn> announced following Saturday’s game that he will step down from his position, effective immediately. Shaw, a former Stanford football student-athlete and the winningest head coach in program history, leaves with a record of 96-54. Shaw was honored with the 2017 Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year award and led Stanford to three Pac-12 titles and two Rose Bowl victories in 12 seasons.<\/p>\n “After many prayers and multiple discussions with my wife, one phrase keeps coming to me – it’s time,” Shaw said. “There are not sufficient words to describe the love and gratitude I feel for my family, all of my former and current players, my staff, this administration and the entire Stanford family. Thank you all.”<\/p>\n A national search for Shaw’s successor will begin immediately.<\/p>\n “I would like to thank David for his immense contributions to Stanford,” Jaquish and Kenninger Director of Athletics Bernard Muir said. “David has represented Stanford football, as both a player and a coach, with unwavering grace, humility and integrity. He has cared tremendously for each and every student-athlete in his program while helping them pursue their full academic and athletic potential. David will forever remain a valued member of the Stanford football family and an integral part of the storied history of the program. I hope Cardinal fans everywhere will join me in thanking David and his family for their extraordinary years of service and wishing them all the best in their next chapter.”<\/p>\n Shaw and Muir will be available to media at a news conference on Monday morning. More details about the news conference will be shared with members of the media on Sunday.<\/p>\n In addition to guiding Stanford to three Rose Bowl Game appearances, Shaw is the only four-time Pac-12 Coach of the Year, having led the Cardinal to three conference titles. Shaw’s 96 overall wins rank ninth in Pac-12 history while his 65 conference victories rank fifth. Stanford achieved 29 wins against top-25 opponents (ranking eighth nationally since 2011), 11 against top-10 programs and five against top-5 foes. Additionally, the Cardinal had 43 players drafted, a total ranking tied for 13th nationally and tied for the most in the Pac-12.<\/p>\n The Cardinal was equally accomplished in the classroom during Shaw’s tenure, boasting a nation-leading 15 Academic All-Americans since 2010, five more than any other program and 10 more than any Pac-12 school in that span, including Andrew Luck (2011) and Christian McCaffrey (2015) as Academic All-Americans of the Year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford’s Bradford M.
