Gordy Shaw named UH's new OL coach!

About choosing Gordon "Gordy" Shaw to be their new OL coach, Mac said:
“We had an extensive nationwide search and I feel we got one of the best offensive line coaches in the country. We have one of the top centers in the country coming out this year in John Estes and Gordy not only played the position but coached a Rimington Award winner at Minnesota so we feel it will only help John’s development. Gordy fits into our staff, he’s a student of the game and is one of the top offensive line gurus in the country.” (UH)

Note: Shaw was the offensive coordinator at South Dakota in 2008. Before that, he spent 14 seasons at Minnesota where he coached both the OL and DL. Before that, he was the OL coach at Wyoming from 1990-1992. In 1989 he was the defensive coordinator at Idaho. From 1985-1988 he was the offensive coordinator/OL coach at Northern Colorado. From 1982-1984 he was the DL coach at Northern Arizona. He was the DL coach at Cal Poly from 1980-1981. He was the DL coach at Cal State-Northridge in 1979. He was a graduate assistant at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo from 1977-1978.
