Former Stanford coach David Shaw interviewed for the Broncos’ head-coaching job in early 2023. He has now been employed by the staff.
However not as a coach.
Mike Klis of 9News.com reviews that G.M. George Paton has employed Shaw “as a senior personnel government.”
It’s an abrupt flip for Shaw, 51, who has greater than 25 years as a coach on the NFL and school stage.
Shaw has an current connection to possession through Broncos restricted companion Condoleezza Rice. She was at Stanford throughout Shaw’s time there, and he or she helped him shut the deal with a few of his recruits.
The rent raises apparent questions on the place it could lead on. Klis particularly identified that Paton employed Shaw, with no reference to move coach Sean Payton. Additionally, Klis himself reported in early 2023 that Shaw was a “sleeper” to be employed.
May Shaw be Payton’s successor? May Shaw present a viable choice as interim coach, if the Broncos ever resolve throughout a given season to make a change?
From Payton’s perspective, right here’s one other essential query. The place will Shaw be throughout the video games? Soccer coaches have a pure (and comprehensible) sensitivity to the parents who may be whispering coaching-decision criticisms to house owners throughout video games. Shaw, if he’s with Rice or major proprietor Greg Penner, could possibly be in place to try this, even when he’s merely answering questions from them and never affirmatively making an attempt to stir the pot.
Shaw additionally could possibly be requested questions by Rice or Penner at any time about in-game and bigger-picture teaching points.
It due to this fact will likely be key for Payton and Shaw, who have been collectively on the Eagles’ employees in 1997, to be on the identical web page. Once more, the truth that Paton — and never Payton — made the rent will create honest hypothesis as to what this all means, and the place all of it could lead on.
