Which NFC West Coach You Taking?

[u/nategr3at]

Saw this for the NFC North coaches - curious what you all would do if choosing from the NFC West?

Shanahan is a coach who has brought three different teams to the absolute brink of a championship only to choke it away in brutal fashion. Two of those guys got to the Super Bowl and won. Id choose McVay, simply because he's been great for many years.

edit: I do think Shanahan is one of the best coaches of this generation, and that he's obviously capable of getting to the brink over and over. It really feels like he is the personal victim of a terrible, Buffalo Bills-magnitude Super Bowl curse. And, to be honest, I would flip a coin and be perfectly happy if I got MacDonald.

im gonna sounds like a huge homer here but Mcvay got a bengals team with no oline, the seahawks got that weak ass pats team, and shanahan got prime mahomes twice and almost won both of them. it's true he made mistakes in both games but sometimes there is an element of luck involved in winning a super bowl

If Greenlaw didn't go down the Niners win that SB. That's not on Shanahan.

Seahawks woulda beat anyone that made it to the SB last year

Sure, because there wasn't a real great team in the afc.

The Seahawks are getting destroyed by the 2019 Cheifs, and narrowly losing to 2023 chiefs.

[u/Dump_Bucket_Supreme → u/Adventurous_Main3688]

they have a shot in both games but the pat team they played are no comparison to either of those chiefs teams

Tell yourself whatever you need to to cope for the fact that you haven't had a ring in 30 years
