The Super Bowl is frequently a setting that shapes the legacy of those who compete. The winner is remembered and celebrated indefinitely. Legends are created. Tom Brady is the best player of all time since he won seven Super Bowls. Joe Montana came before him, having won four Super Bowl championships. Nick Foles’ amazing run in 2017 against Brady and the Patriots cemented his reputation as a legend. Because of Brady’s two Super Bowl victories over Eli Manning, he is regarded as the one player Brady could not defeat.
However, the Super Bowl is also a place of notoriety. Why didn’t Seattle run the ball from the 1-yard line with the most outstanding short-yardage rushing back ever?
Shanahan is an excellent coach. One of the top offensive brains in NFL history. Almost every team in the league is trying to hire someone from his coaching tree, including defensive coaches. However, his lack of a championship victory leaves a significant void in his reputation. If he is unable to fill that void, he will have a difficult time establishing himself among the top NFL coaches. He gets another chance on Sunday, and most coaches don’t get that many. As of right now, his legacy consists of chokes and anguish.
