Broad comes home to The Farm

Stanford's old offensive co-ordinator has got himself a new office, and it's a return that has the Stanford fans fired up.

After the departure of David Shaw after 4 highly mediocre seasons, the Cardinal AD reached into their phonebook, and snagged one of the hottest coaching prospects in the nation. Coach Broad, who was the offensive co-ordinator from 14-18, and lead one of the sturdiest offenses Stanford has seen, said the decision to come home was a no brainer.

"I'm a Stanford man, I played my college ball here, I was on the staff here, and now I get to come back and lead this team back to greatness", said Broad at the Pac-12 media day. After his departure from Stanford, Coach Broad was at Duke at OC for 3 seasons, leading them to a National Championship, and mentoring 2019 Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Cody.

The situation at Stanford is well suited to Broad's offense and talents: a line built to run the ball, and an ox at tailback in Senior Bill Britton. However, winning is tough in the well-stocked Pac-12, and with 5 teams ranked in the AP Top 25 Preseason poll, Broad has his work cut out for him.
