What about Connor Shaw?
- Thread starter Irmo Cock
- Start date
From my understanding, Connor made it clear he doesn't want to be an on-field coach at this time.
I seem to recall hearing Shaw did not want to be an on-the-field coach. I could be mistaken though.
Same here.
I assumed it was going to be something similar to what Lattimore's role used to be.
This is what I heard too. He doesn't want 60 hour work weeks that take away from family. So that means in 18 years or so when the kids go off to college at USC, he can be our next HC. How's that for a plan ?
That’s actually what Connor was hired for, and what he was doing until pressed into emergency service as QB coach when Bobo became interim HC. My understanding is that Connor wanted to go back to his original role, and will be staying in that capacity
As others noted, Shaw didn’t want to be an onfield coach at this time.
What you may be remembering, is Beamer stated he still hoped to get him involved in an onfield position now, or soon.
He’s probably wanting to enjoy his family life a bit before entering the grind of coaching.
Is Connor the problem? Doesn’t want to work in the real world, doesn’t want to coach, doesn’t want to work too hard? Has he peaked out in college?
I know what he did, but is their anything else he wants to do?
He has a blank check with us and still he is hesitant.
I believe this is a fair question.

That's a wild speculation. Connor may need to become a GA first.

Do you know what he does now? If not then listen, listen and listen.
I could see someone not wanting the stress of being an on field coach. Recruiting, recruiting and recruiting all the time. I imagine it’s probably very hectic schedule and always busy. Fans love him now. But if his unit starts losing games he will get roasted on social media. Maybe Shaw saw what the job is like and decided that a Coach isn’t what he wants to be when he grows up. On the other hand position coaches get paid very well and can lead to head coaching positions which pay VERY well. Millions and millions. Hard to turn an opportunity like that down.

Sounds like me... Doesn’t want to work in the real world, doesn’t want to work too hard?
Has peaked out in college after getting married...
Connor has a young family. Any on the field coach will work ridiculous hours and travel frequently recruiting. That is not for everyone. Connor does not do anything halfway. Right now his focus is on his young family. Once his children are a little older he may feel that he can devote the time required to football. But he is doing what is best for him and his family now.
TBH, it’s posts like this that make this forum, and many other forums sickening.
WTF is wrong with you? Honest question...
Welcome to the board Trolly Mc Trollster. Connor Shaw is one of the people that will turn this program around!!! I hear someone calling you back to Tigernet you should go!!!

This makes me VERY happy.
Connor Shaw was a generational player. Not so much for his talent at QB (though he was a very good one...in spite of some fans who spout revisionist history) but simply b/c of his mental makeup. Those caliber of players don't come along very often. We need someone like him to have that attitude permeate the program.
