Kyle and McDonald had the hardest SOS of all the COTY candidates. That's a fact. You can cherry pick every single team on why their schedule was harder or easier to promote confirmation bias.

you can't talk about SOS and then ride Vrabel's nuts. Dude has the 7th easiest SOS in the SB era. He played absolutely no one.

it is a meaningless award, but trying to justify why Kyle wasn't deserving is a unserious debate. It just further shows how some of you are incapable of having a good faith debate.

It wasn't what anybody said, it was actually projected to be the easiest schedule. I agree it wasn't the easiest amongst the easy, but it was easy imo and I picked them most games. It's even easier factoring in getting to play Seattle week 1, road Bryce, and Colts when they couldn't win anymore. Those are details sos doesn't take into account

I didn't vote him last, but looking at the other candidates I can see why it ended up that way. You'd have to take that one up with the voters

It wasn't easy compared to the rest of the league. Which is the point…It was right in the middle of SOS this yr

you could literally do exactly what you're trying to do with every single team. "Oh they got Bryce" oh they got a home game here or there…all you're trying to do is form some confirmation bias.

vrabel- One of the easiest SOS in NFL history
BJ-4th easiest SOS this yr
McDonald-same SOS as SF this yr (15th overall)
Cohen-8th easiest SOS this yr.

Bad take that's rooted in your distain for Kyle.

Not to mention three of our losses was with a back up QB. Denver at home with the #2 defense in the league couldn't win with a back up QB. Sure it was a Championship game but his defense gave him every opportunity to win the game.

Pretty much. If the coaching staff prior to you was dogs**t, you've got a leg up with something like COTY.

Kyle will never win one because of the expectations he's set.

Except for when Kyle has the best record. Then it goes to Stefanski.

Dude anyone with half a brain knows this whole coaching staff was great this yr. The only people trying to argue it are either trolls or part of the anti-Kyle tribe.

Feels like the award in particular has a massive East coast bias. Bill Walsh won it just once. Mike Holmgren, George Seifert and Mike Shanahan won it never.

f**king joke

Next years schedule looks a little tough. I hope we get KC early!!! Broncos game will be a real test on the 9ers new O-line. Hopefully it's new.

Some of the people voting on it are shocking

Doubt it happens considering only one game left but I'd love to see MacDonald lose a couple of his key players early on and see how he does.

They have to play with Drew Lock, JSN on the sidelines, no Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy and Emmanwori. Wonder how his genius handles that.

Just amazing how these guys turn a blind eye to impact injuries and missing pieces and just look at the schedule. Hard to take people seriously when they stare at something so obvious and just refuse to acknowledge it.

Yup 2019 should've been his year. Still absurd that John Harbaugh won it that year. 49ers didn't have an MVP QB and had a bunch of key injuries that year too. Still managed to go 13-3 and get the top seed in the NFC. Lost a 3 point game to the Ravens on the road within a gauntlet of games.

Total joke.

Simply put Kyle Shanahan was robbed of Coach of the Year. That's why I can't stand all these lame awards especially the Pro Bowl.

I definitely knew he wouldn't win but to finish 5th is a f**king joke. There's no reason for that.

Glad Kyle did not get it. He in no way deserved it. We won with all those injuries not because of his coaching but because we played a weak, 4th place schedule. His game planning for both Seattle games was atrocius!

We played 3 games vs Seattle. The only game out of the 3 where we werent decimated by injuries...we won.

I don't get some of you honestly. Just overreaction after overreaction. The only time all year Seattle or Rams had even a sniff of injury bad luck they looked like totally different teams. Who btw played virtually the same schedule as us.

Lol it was week 1. Week one is incredibly irrelevant in today's NFL. The offense was mostly healthy in that playoff game and look what happened. Kittle wasn't saving them that game. Seattle shut down Kyle and the 49ers offense twice. You could visibly see watching the game that this team had ZERO answers for that Seattle defense. I get it you're a 49ers fan and huge poster here but dude it's okay to acknowledge when a team is simply better than SF or a team was able to shutdown Kyle's offense. Nothing wrong with that. They got their ass whopped and couldn't hang with a very good, fast and physical team in Seattle.
