It’s a time-honored tradition each postseason to see various Pac-12 and ACC coaches don sombreros as they take part in the festivities surrounding the Sun Bowl.
I mean, who could forget that one time Lane Kiffin did it at USC and it turned into a never-ending meme?

Or the time Frank Beamer did the same for Virginia Tech?

Well, we now have stepped the game up with this year’s matchup between Stanford and Pitt. As you can see in the video below, Cardinal head coach David Shaw not only donned the appropriately-colored sombrero, but he also showed off some moves to the mariachi music that was part of the team’s arrival to El Paso.

Priceless. It’s also a high bar for Panthers head coach Pat Narduzzi to clear this week.
The Sun Bowl will kickoff off at 2 p.m. ET on New Year’s Eve. Hopefully Shaw keeps the sombrero on over his headset.
