After serving as Stanford's offensive coordinator for four seasons from 2007-10, David Shaw was appointed the Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football on January 13, 2011, becoming the 34th head coach in Stanford history.
A 1994 Stanford graduate, he is the fifth alum to hold the position of head football coach, joining Charles Fickert (1901), Carl Clemans (1902), Chuck Taylor (1951-57) and Paul Wiggin (1980-83).
"David Shaw is exactly the right person to lead our football program at this time," said Stanford's Jaquish & Kenninger Director of Athletics Bob Bowlsby. "David has the experience, intellect, coaching skills and organizational abilities to be a tremendous head coach. He understands and embraces the combination of world class academics and world class athletics that is required at Stanford.
"David has made a substantial contribution to the recent success of our program and our team has great confidence in him. I could not be more excited to work with David and to assist him and his staff in leading our football program to high achievement in the years ahead."
Stanford University President John Hennessy stated, "David Shaw has been a large part of the Stanford football program's success over the past four years, and he has all of the experience and qualities to continue the momentum into the future. He is a Stanford graduate and a long-time member of our Stanford family who has personally been part of our scholar-athlete tradition. He understands our values. He also has a wealth of experience outside of the university, and broad respect among both those in his profession and on campus. I am excited about the prospects for Stanford football under his leadership."
