Since most headcoaches were coordinators at some level, I guess you could say that about every coordinator that's ever been promoted.

But none of us have an opportunity to personally interview guys, so we go with the information available.

But that aside, we do have some additional information about Kyle Shanahan's leadership/people skills.

I've shared this privately, I guess I'll share it here.

This is directly from Jessie Tuggle in his own words.

Bulldog, intense. a teacher on the practice field and is tough & meticulous on execution. makes them run the plays over and over until executed the way it was drawn up. involved in all parts of the offense, very hands on, line blocking schemes, inside outside leverage technigues. Done a tremendous job working with backs on reading blocks and where the cutback lanes will be. Involved in every aspect of the multiples of the offense and really hard on Matty.on his footwork and keeping a strong base. Historically Matty would have late seaosn collapses, he presses and loses the tenets of the offense. Kyle has stayed on him about staying with teh teachings of the position.. Demands the receivers run crisp routes and being where they suppose to be funny you ask about him now. Gab on the 64yd, practiced that play multiple times against 2 high. Saw a tendency with mike bite heavy on play action. Would hate to see him go, but if you get him you got a good one. ME: Bring him on

I think we can also discern from that that his players have totally bought in to his teachings and leadership. Atlanta's offense has never been better and they lead the NFL in scoring at 33.8ppg.

I'll sign up for that!!

Problem with that "analysis" is it's based on a totally false premise. A bogus premise the data easily invalidates. Ryan did not "historically have late season collapses." His career splits by month alone prove that. In fact, they demonstrate that he's been an incredibly consistent performer throughout seasons in virtually every statistical category historically.

So if that's the basis for loving Shanahan, it's a faulty basis. Maybe the kind the current Rams decision makers would accept, though.
