I'm confident if I looked back far enough you'd be in this thread blaming the failures of Wilks and Sorensen on Kyle for selecting them.
Funny how you all want to pick and choose when to give the HC credit or the blame for the work his assistants do.
I'll tell you exactly the kind of in game decisions that make me despise Shanahan. Saleh gifts him with a turnover in Falcons territory with 1:28 left in the half. Shanahan knows they get the ball back to start the 2nd half. He calls THREE pass plays, almost gets them out of field goal range but for a lucky "pass" to Colby that let them get back to fg range. And our kicker hits a 55 yarder to save shanny. Shanny gives the Falcons the back with 50 seconds left and but for a fortunate grounding error by penix, the Falcons dont get a score. This type of game management is why I hate Shanahan. And it's why he's lost superbowls. It should get anyone fired.
