Why is this board anti-David Shaw?

Not an exciting offense or LSU tie-in

All the board's favorites:
Herman (OFFENSE)
Jimbo (LSU tie)
Petrino (offense)
Briles (offense)

He's at his Alma mater and ain't leaving for another college gig

Stanford players are not like LSU players.

I heard he runs a pretty good toss dive.

We are racist!! Duh

He's Les

Come on man you know why

I think it's clear that people want to go to a spread with power running game still mixed in, much like Bama and tOSU. Shaw is much of what Miles philosophical wise, he just gets better QB play and is more balanced. He still plays under center and needs a QB to know how to read D's and have time in the system. Spread systems are so much easier to learn and you get the most talented QB on the field much faster than in a system like Miles/Shaw.

This is the main reason. Along with the fact that he ain't leaving his alma mater in sunny California for 110 degree Baton Rouge, LA.

i'd take shaw over every other candidate, but he's not leaving stanford.
