David Shaw steps down as head coach at Stanford

David Shaw announced after Stanford’s loss to BYU on Saturday that he is stepping down as head football coach at the Pac-12 school.

“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.”

Shaw leaves as the winningest head coach in program history, with a record of 96-54. In addition to guiding Stanford to three Rose Bowl Game appearances, Shaw is the only four-time Pac-12 Coach of the Year.

Stanford has gone through a rough patch, winning 14 games over the last 4 seasons and not winning more than 4 in any of them.
