Pro Football Focus tasked NFL analyst Eric Eager with ranking the best offensive play-callers in the NFL. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, who has called plays for the Niners since he took over, was ranked 4th on Eager’s list behind Andy Reid, Kellen Moore, and Byron Leftwich.
While it’s not surprising to see Shanahan ranked among the league’s best play-callers, it is a bit surprising to see him behind Moore and Leftwich. Moore is the offensive coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys, and while he’s earned a solid reputation as a play-caller, few would consider him the second-best play-caller in the NFL.
