Reid in his career as an NFL head coach, has been much more consistent in fielding a winner than Shanahan. Fact.
There are shit coaches that won a SB by riding others coat tails, see Barry Switzer. Winning a SB does not make you exempt from sucking.
Look I am not siding with Reid nor am I putting down Shanahan. But lets not make Shanahan into more than he CURRENTLY is. Currently he is struggling coach of a struggling franchise.
You have to walk the walk before you talk shit....and Shanhan's walk currently is that of a male ballet dancer with a pronounced lisp.
Comprende?
I do not really care how great Shanahan was last century. Clinton Portis was great at one time too. That does not mean he is great now.

I've never tried to say Reid is a bad coach, not sure why you seem to be going out of your way to convince us of his genius. Good coach... good coach with no SB wins is all I've said from the start.
Bringing Switzer into the argument is just pure silliness. And the all mighty Elway didn't win jack until Shanahan came along, so let's not be so quick to give all the credit to Elway. They won those SB's together. Shanahan is what he is right now, a good coach trying to turn around a bad team, but that doesn't diminish his accomplishments.
Not a lot of guys have won 2 SB's you know.
