Succeeding at Stanford can do wonders for a football coach, but it seems like the school's current one is staying put.

Adam Schefter reported for ESPN citing unnamed sources close to David Shaw who said the coach is not interested in leaving Stanford for a job in the NFL. Other sources have also indicated several teams are interested in Shaw because of his track record with other coaches and teams.

In his first stint as a head football coach, Shaw has led the Cardinal to a 41-12 record, but he served as Jim Harbaugh's offensive coordinator at Stanford from 2007 to 2010. Shaw has also served as an assistant coach in the NFL for teams like the Oakland Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens.

Stanford has had a pro-style offense under Shaw and Harbaugh and the Pac-12 has been one of the more competitive conferences in recent years with teams like Oregon and UCLA crowding the top of the standings. Shaw is a two time Pac-12 Coach of the Year and has won the conference title twice as well.

Stanford is also one of the best academic schools in the nation, posting a 5.1 percent acceptance rate in 2014. Past head football coaches at Stanford include all-time greats like Bill Walsh and Walter Camp.

With vacancies opening up as the college and NFL seasons wind down, Shaw represents one of the top candidates that could have jumped from the former to the latter if he wanted to. With Harbaugh reportedly on the move, teams like the Raiders and New York Jets now no longer have Shaw to turn to if they cannot land the 49ers coach.

Michigan is reportedly interested in making Harbaugh the highest-paid coach in the college game, but it is not clear if he wants to leave the NFL. Not being able to pursue Shaw may cause the Raiders and Jets to push harder for Harbaugh or back off all together.

Several college coaching jobs are already settled, as recruiting season is starting to heat up, so it is highly unlikely any school would have been able to lure Shaw away at this point.
