Stanford coach David Shaw won’t interview with the 49ers for their coaching vacancy, according to a source.
Bleacher Report reported Wednesday that the 49ers plan to interview Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, and that once they are done with Jackson, “expect that they’re also going to have an interview with David Shaw of Stanford.
“They are interested in both. They want to get to know both.”
But Shaw, a Stanford alum who got married in Stanford Memorial Church, has no plans to interview with the 49ers, the source said.
Athletic director Bernard Muir said the school is having an “open conversation” with Shaw about his long-term future at Stanford.
Shaw is believed to make a base salary in the $2.5 to $2.75 million range, which is in the bottom half of the Pac-12.
Cal coach Sonny Dykes will make an average of $2.8 million per year over the next four years, based on the terms of a recent contract extension.
Shaw is 5-0 against the Bears.
“The administration and the board of trustees love what (Shaw) brings,” Muir said. “We want him to be our coach, and he wants to be on The Farm.”
Shaw, who has won the Pac-12 title three of the past four years, negotiated his contract extension with the Cardinal in 2012 and has repeatedly said he intends to coach his alma mater for many years.
“It was personal for me,” Shaw explained prior to the Rose Bowl, when asked about serving as his own agent.
“When I shook (former athletic director) Bob Bowlsby’s hand when he offered me the job, I let him know the thing I’m looking for is longevity, however we need to accomplish that.
“It’s not just about maxing out my contract and getting the most money I can get. That’s not what this can be about. There are a lot of places that you can go do that, and this is not the place I want to try to do that.”
