I disagree to an extent. I think Shanahan is a great coach. He just can't evaluate talent very well. He hits alot, but he swings and strikes out seemingly just as much. I don't trust his talent evaluation, and I don't trust him to trust anyone else to evaluate talent. The same sentiment I give to his son, who seems to be a great coordinator when it comes to x's and o's, but doesn't seem to know talent when he sees it, and doesn't seem to be very personable (mcdaniels esque).
If we were to get a GM or head scout that could pick the right guys, I think the shannahans could take us very far. Bruce Allen is supposedly a glorified contract negotiator/cap guy.
Keep in mind I don't think this will happen due to the stubborness of the Shanahans in that they think they know all. Basically I'm trying to say that the shannahans are good coaches, just not good at assembling teams. The talent that they have they use well, but their problem is getting the necessary pieces in place.
