Coach of the Year: Kyle Shanahan (San Francisco 49ers)
As a 49ers fan, that last award made me pretty unhappy, so Kyle Shanahan winning the 2018 Coach of the Year helps a lot.
With a full season of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, Shanahan finally has his chance to show off how good his offense is with the 49ers to the rest of the league.
The 49ers do not have the best roster, but Shanahan, along with the help of general manager John Lynch, has helped create this chemistry between all the players in the locker room that I believe will help spring San Francisco into the playoffs.

Come on, how can offensive tackle Joe Staley and the seemingly quiet and reserved Mike McGlinchey singing the Backstreet Boys with great enthusiasm not get you excited about what the 49ers are doing?
The league will undoubtedly take notice of what Shanahan is doing with his players and hand him his well-deserved NFL Coach of the Year award.
