Stanford filled one of its open coaching positions on Tuesday, officially promoting Tavita Pritchard, the QB and WR coach, to offensive coordinator.
"I would like to thank Coach Shaw for his trust, and the incredible opportunity to lead the Stanford offense," Pritchard said in a statement. "Ever since I set foot on campus as a high school junior recruit, I fell in love with this place. And over the past 13 years, it's become my home -- I met my wife in class here as an undergrad, and our son was born at Stanford Hospital. It has been an honor to be a student, teammate and coach within this program, and I'm excited to continue the journey as a Stanford Cardinal and attack my new role.
