Kyle Shanahan is often described as an offensive genius. Saturday he is matched up against the NFL’s OG offensive whiz, Andy Reid.
When Shanahan was born in 1979, Reid was playing offensive tackle at BYU, defending Jim McMahon. Reid took over as the Philadelphia Eagles head coach in 1999 when Kyle was still in college.
Ten guys in Reid’s coaching tree have become NFL head coaches. He has a career W-L record of 195-124-1 (.611) and has improved on that since moving to Kansas City in 2013.
The point is, he’s very good at football, especially on the offensive side, and Kyle Shanahan will have his hands full.
