    Congratulations, it’s unfortunate you’ll never win a Superbowl in this era though. Shanahan has an amazing Superbowl record.

      I don’t agree with your premise. There’s plenty of examples of coaches winning after losing one or more Super Bowls.

      Coaches that have lost a Super Bowl before winning one:

      • Hank Stram (won IV after losing I)
      • Don Schula (won VII after losing III and VI)
      • Tom Landry (won VI after losing V)
      • Dick Vermeil (won XXXIV after losing XV)
      • Bill Cowher (won XL after losing XXX)
      • Andy Reid (won LIV after losing XXXIX)
      • Sean McVay (won LVI after losing LII)

        Did they all throw the ball a million times when all they had to do was run it to win? Shanahan called the falcons plays #neverforget

          You seem to be under the impression that if somebody does something once, then they are forever required to do that same thing again. That’s not how it works.
