I would be hesitant to hire Shaw at a place like UT, all he's done is not run what Harbaugh built into the ground. Maybe he's a great coach, but I don't think there's enough data to give him this big of a job.
At least with Strong you know he's largely built his own program (along with being a successful coordinator).
Maybe Shaw turns out to be better down the road, but I don't see him as the sure fire home run that others do.
