Stanford coach David Shaw resigned from his position effective immediately early Sunday morning. Soon after the Cardinal fell 35-26 to BYU at home to end the regular season, their athletic department announced Shaw’s departure after 12 years leading the program.
Shaw oversaw his least successful season at Stanford in 2022 as the Cardinal finished 3-9 overall for the second straight year and 1-8 in Pac-12 play, their worst performance against league opponents under his leadership.
After winning three Pac-12 championships and leading Stanford to eight straight winning seasons (five with 10+ wins), the 2017 national coach of the year and four-time Pac-12 coach of the year has since overseen a significant regression.
