I really enjoyed this article. I remember at the beginning of this offseason there was some slight ridicule of Shanahan in an article that he was bouncing around between receivers and Qb's too much like a passing game coordinator. That is of course a byproduct of him choosing not too have an offensive coordinator, which does add on more to his plate.
Fast forward and now we're seeing him more and more involved with the whole team, which I think is an important component of being the head coach. We're getting articles of him participating in drills with all the different position groups now. My favorite part of him that I am continuously reading though is his strict attention to detail. After every practice he watches closely over the film work and looks for all areas of improvement. I would compare what we have been reading about his tireless worth ethic towards details since arriving here as very Walsh-esque. Now let's just hope it lends Walsh-esque results.
FTFY.
Shanahan knows what he wants more than any other coach and may need to train the coaches as well as the players. That's OK until the team becomes knowledgeable about the scheme and he wants to turn the keys over to a trusted OC...just as Walsh did.
