For a little while, the San Francisco 49ers have been a top team in the NFC. Kyle Shanahan, to my mind, is a top-5 NFL head coach. Boiling things down to just offensive minds would involve Shanahan hanging around in the top 3. He’s brilliant. Not without flaw, but brilliant nonetheless.
Something that’s easy to overlook, though, is that San Francisco had a horrible 2018 season. Shanahan’s team fished with a paltry 4 wins, meaning they were among the worst teams in the NFL. The upside is that they selected Nick Bosa 2nd overall in the draft, further reinforcing a defense that already had considerable talent.
