First off, I feel like I need to put on my tux (full cummerbund, with none of that semi-formal vest and short coat stuff) in order to write about the Willie Shaw Director of Defense. Anderson is in his eighth year as the director of defense at Standford and usually puts together a respectable, if not occasionally spectacular, defense. 2020 was not one of those years, and neither was 2019. The defense in Palo Alto has been trending down since their stingy 2016 defense.
Anderson started his coaching career in 1997 at Idaho State as a running backs coach and coached tight ends in 1998.
