sven233 Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Well deserved.... I believe he has become a better coach each year he has been here. Seems to learn from things and is making better decisions in his 4th down management. Still has to work on his clock management and challenges, but there is rarely a week the team isn't prepared and doesn't give their best effort. I think he gets the most out of the talent he has to work with and I'm really hoping he coaches more talented players next season. Hope he wins. Edited January 30, 2020 by sven233 9

Logic Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 Well deserved. He gets the maximum amount of effort and production out of his teams. Does anyone know who the other finalists are?

Not sure if this is official... https://www.google.com/amp/s/clutchpoints.com/nfl-honors-picks-for-top-awards/amp/ Quote There are four strong candidates—two from each conference—to win the Coach of the Year (COY) honors. Baltimore’s John Harbaugh and Buffalo’s Sean McDermott are the two coaches from the AFC who could snag COY, while the 49ers’ Kyle Shanahan and Packers rookie head coach Matt LaFleur have the best chance from the NFC.

Logic Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 I love McDermott, but if I'm being unbiased... I'd have to say either Shanahan, who took the 49ers from 4-12 to the Super Bowl in one calendar year, or Matt LaFleur, who won 13 games as a rookie head coach, are more deserving. 2
Steptide Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 I believe he should get it for the simple fact that 2 of his 3 years here, he got the bills to the playoffs. 1
Lurker Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 If nothing else, McD's nomination is is a nice 'Think Buffalo!' advertisement to the upcoming class of UFAs... 7

I won't disagree, but the 49ers were 4-12 because Jimmy G went down. They were already a much stronger team than their record indicates. And Matt LaFleur had Aaron Rodgers to work with. Both showed a lot, but those situations are more complicated than them just coming in and rebuilding their respective teams. Honestly, I'd put John Harbaugh up there. He had to completely rebuild the offense to fit with Lamar Jackson, and did a great job covering up his weaknesses and accentuating his strengths. Plus their defense was really good too.

Shanahan seems like the front runner. 1
JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 McD will get extra credit for turning around one of the most hapless team in the league, a team many thought was beyond help after two decades in the toilet. He probably wont win, but the fact he is a finalist says volumes about the Pegulas and where this team is headed. 1

He should be the front runner - but wasn’t the main reason they went 4-12 last year because their QB was out for the season and they didn’t have good enough backups? He and Lynch dramatically turned around the team from where it was when they took over 3 years ago, though. Edited January 30, 2020 by YoloinOhio

But here's the thing.....we were essentially 8-8 (mediocre) the three years before he arrived (9-7, 8-8, 7-9)....during those years we had a top-4 defense and a top-10 offense (just not at the same time). I think it's a fair take we were mired in mediocrity, and that perhaps drastic action needed to be taken. I'm just not sure the argument really can be made for "beyond help" or "in the toilet" 1
