Is 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan the Coach of the Year?

The San Francisco 49ers finished the regular season with a 12-5 record, earning them the No. 1 seed in the NFC as they prepare for a playoff run.

It was a successful year for the 49ers, who saw quarterback Brock Purdy emerge in the MVP conversation for portions of the season, running back Christian McCaffrey arguably have the best year of his career, and many other players reach elite-level heights.

Additionally, it seemed to be head coach Kyle Shanahan’s best year of his coaching career, leading one to presume that he should be in the conversation for Coach of the Year.
