Despite interest from NFL teams, coach David Shaw plans to stay at Stanford, according to two sources familiar with the situation.

Shaw already is on the Houston Texans radar, and is expected to be on the radar of just about any NFL team making a head-coaching change.

The 41-year-old Shaw was Jim Harbaugh's offensive coordinator at Stanford, and succeeded him there when Harbaugh went to the San Francisco 49ers. He has also worked as an assistant coach with the Baltimore Ravens, Oakland Raiders and Philadelphia Eagles.

No. 5 Stanford (11-2) is the only program to make a BCS bowl the last four years. The twice-reigning Pac-12 champions, who also are the only team to win at least 11 games in each of those years, will go for a second straight Rose Bowl victory when they face No. 4 Michigan State (12-1) on Jan. 1.

It's his home. And it's a hell of a nice place to boot.

Stanford is giving it a fun for its money.

Nice compensation, competitive teams and a third of the pressure (for now) that some of these other schools have to deal with on a daily basis.

Shaw, like Harbaugh, is in the position of being able to wait for the "right" NFL job, if he eventually wants to make that switch.

Too nice for the NFL, much like Lovey Smith and Dungy

There will always be less pressure. Stanford is and always be academics first and foremost in an area with a ton to do outside of college football.
