Shanahan at 8 is a joke too
Compare the 49ers season to the Giants last year and reconsider.
An 0-9 team breaking their losing streak and it felt like a playoff win in the locker room. As opposed to an alleged SB contender not getting their way and the team falling completely apart.
Not that McAdoo was a good coach or anything, but you have to appreciate the non Xs and Os challenge of the sport.
Shanahan Jr is more than just an offensive mind. Not perfect but seems very introspective and has become more humble over the years, meeting with Belichick to discuss the SB for instance.
He commands respect in the locker room with his knowledge......no more rah rah Harbaugh. A lot younger yet more mature.
Once he gets the horses that Harbaugh took for granted we'll see some results.
