49ers' Colton McKivitz: Kyle Shanahan is Coach of the Year, shouldn't be a question

San Francisco 49ers right tackle Colton McKivitz has praised head coach Kyle Shanahan as the best coach in the NFL, citing Shanahan's ability to lead the team through a challenging season marked by significant losses in free agency and injuries. McKivitz expressed his views in an interview with ESPN's Nick Wagoner, emphasizing Shanahan's role in the team's unexpected success despite being counted out by many. Shanahan, who has never won the NFL Coach of the Year award, is not favored to win this year either, with Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald leading the predictions. Shanahan's father, Mike Shanahan, also never won the award despite his success, including two Super Bowl victories.
