Like I said, I'm not sold on Shanny. But he won multiple Super Bowls with a great QB, just like those other coaches.
All those other coaches also had GM's drafting for them.
My point was it's not really fair to take anything away from Shanny because he had Elway. To do so, you'd have to say the same for those other coaches. Shanahan has his shortcomings to be sure, but he still hoisted the Lombardi trophy twice.
I worry a lot more about him as the head of personnel than I do as a HC.
