Former Stanford Head Coach David Shaw Joins Detroit Lions as Pass Game Coordinator

 

Detroit, MI – The Detroit Lions have officially announced the addition of former Stanford University head coach David Shaw to their coaching staff as the pass game coordinator.

 

Shaw, who led Stanford’s football program from 2011 to 2022, brings a wealth of experience to the Lions. During his tenure at Stanford, he achieved a 96-54 record, securing three Pac-12 championships and making five bowl game appearances. Known for his offensive acumen and player development skills, Shaw is expected to enhance the Lions’ aerial attack.

 

In a statement, Lions head coach Dan Campbell expressed enthusiasm about Shaw’s arrival: “David’s track record speaks for itself. His offensive expertise and leadership will be invaluable as we continue to build a dynamic and effective offense.”

 

Shaw’s hiring is part of a series of coaching staff changes for the Lions. John Morton has been promoted to offensive coordinator, and Hank Fraley has been elevated to run game coordinator. These moves aim to build upon the team’s recent offensive successes and further develop their strategic approach.

 

Fans and analysts have reacted positively to Shaw’s appointment, noting his successful collegiate coaching career and the fresh perspective he brings to the NFL. As the Lions prepare for the upcoming season, Shaw’s integration into the coaching staff is anticipated to play a significant role in the team’s offensive performance.
