This is what happens when you have leadership that preaches that their scheme is perfect and if anything goes wrong it's on the players. I might be wrong but that's the impression I've gotten from Shanahan specifically during his time with Atlanta.
"Shanahan says Ryan wanted to go back to some of the concepts he was familiar with under Shanahan's predecessor, Dirk Koetter. There was some give and take in the game-planning as the year went on. Ultimately, Shanahan, who had been reputed to be stubborn, incorporated more of what Ryan was comfortable with in his playbook."
This is one of the quotes I could find, but I remember hearing a lot of reports in 2015 about how Ryan was getting frustrated that Shanahan wasn't being more flexible. You don't hear much like this from the McVay camp who seems like he takes a ton of input from his players and adjusts his system around what they're good at. Just look at how how much of the offense he adapted from playing to Goff's strengths to Stafford's strengths, letting Kupp create his own routes, etc.
Shanahan and McVay are both great playcallers but I think it's pretty obvious who players would prefer to play for.
