I just don't understand how he could make such a claim.:cheeky-sm

"Without Shanahan, this team could be 2-6 right now, so although I don’t always get him, I give the coach a thumbs up at the midway point."

I thought it was Jim Zorn who guided the team to a 6-2 record through the first eight games of his first year here. Finished 2-6 leaving him at 8-8 the same record many have already predicted for this team. Let's wait and see how Shanahan's first year here compares to that of his predecessor. Only a few can honestly say, based on the way these games have been played this year, the end result of any of them is due to any form of genius in coaching. Tbh, some might say it's quite the contrary.
