Kyle Shanahan vs. Andy Reid

Shop Find 49ers gear online
After watching Kyle Shanahan and Andy Reid coach over the past 8 years, I wonder how many super bowls the 49ers would have won with Reid as HC? As good as Shanahan is in certain ways, Andy Reid is a complete head coach in all three phases of the game. I think he is also more creative with offensive play calling at critical junctures in the game, especially on 3rd downs in the 4th quarter. He always seems to dial up the right play when it counts. In addition, Kansas City is a much more disciplined team than the 49ers. They went 8 straight games without a turnover, and they don't seem to have the amount of crucial penalties the 49ers have. Another thing that will always stand out about Reid over Shanahan is his evaluation of QB's in the 2017 draft. Reid moved up in the 1st round to draft Patrick Mahomes; Shanahan didn't even bother to check him out, thinking C.J. Beathard was the only QB worth drafting that year. What a franchise altering evaluation turned out to be for the Chiefs! I hope we get back on track this season, and Saleh can help turn around the defense.

Are you just going to ignore Reids years of "almost" in Philly?

Your post completely ignores them relative to the their time as an HC.

So he would have drafted Mahomes if he was our head coach here, right?

Reid would not have drafted Solomon Thomas.
