Sorry, I disagree. He made a shit ton of mistakes in the Super Bowl against the Pats, a whole 2nd half’s worth.
I climb all over Darrell Bevell’s shit much to the dismay of many Hawks fans over one horrific play call which I never will forgive him for in a Super Bowl.
Saint Shanny made a whole half’s worth of shitty play calls in the biggest game of his life while having a 25 point lead at halftime !!!!!!!!!!
Top 3 OC’s don’t piss away 25 point halftime leads in Super Bowls, sorry.
...missed in your argument....
1) He had amassed a 25 point lead in the first place.
2) He doesn't play defense.
3) Thay had the first down at the end if not for a holding call.
4) The Falcons under his leadership were one of the best offenses in NFL history that season and made Matt Ryan the league MVP. Matt. Ryan.
5) If Shanahan were the Seahawks OC, you'd be making the exact reverse argument you are making now.
Nobody is infallible. I'm sure there are many things Shanahan would like to do different if he had it back, but he was HARDLY the reason they lost, and was a HUGE reason they were even in that situation to begin with.
If Shanahan were fired, how long do you think it would take for him to get a job as an OC? He coached MATT SHAUB to a 98.6 QB rating. He coached RGIII to a 102.4 QB rating as a rookie. Matt Ryans rating was 117.1. His previous career high rating had been 99.1.
Hell, he played undrafted Free Agent Nick Mullens to a 90.8 rating and has several members of THIS BOARD saying the Niners already have their QB of the future over Jimmy and that Mullens should start.
What is REALLY interesting is seeing what happens to his QBs after he leaves.
GTFO. Shanahan is one of the best in the business as an OC and just about anyone who pays any attention will tell you that. The only people who don't think that are people who don't WANT it to be true.
