Stanford football head coach David Shaw announced early Sunday morning that he is stepping down as the team’s football coach, effective immediately. He made the announcement after Stanford’s loss to BYU to end the regular season.
“After many prayers and multiple discussions with my wife, one phrase keeps coming to me — it’s time,” Shaw said in a statement. “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.
