The 49ers were connected to the Stanford head coach this offseason, but that was quickly shot down. David Shaw addressed the rumors again last week.
Stanford head coach David Shaw has found great success in the college ranks, and naturally this has led to numerous rumors about a future NFL career. This offseason, we heard some rumors the 49ers were interested in interviewing him, but they were quickly shot down.
Initially, Jason Cole reported that a high level 49ers source told him the team expected to interview Shaw during their hiring process. That was quickly shot down by San Jose Mercury News college writer Jon Wilner.
