The opposite, I have to look past my own personal bias that would favor Shanahan. Although I didn’t personally know Kyle Shanahan, he grew up in the next town over, and we had a lot of the same mutual friends.
Personal feelings aside, I don’t see him in the top 5, but if he wins a ring, I’d leapfrog him ahead of Harbaugh for sure and maybe even McVay.
You think Dan Campbell is a top 5 coach but not Kyle Shanahan? That's wild. Campbell wasn't even the best coach on his team. That guy now coaches the Bears.
Where is Campbell's ring since your only criteria is Super Bowls.

I’d put Shanahan above Dan Campbell.

I should be out on Shanahan. The 49ers sucked last year. I have seen them blow 4th quarter leads in two Super Bowls. I should be irrational and say Shanahan sucks. But despite his flaws he is an excellent coach and I am certain almost every franchise would take him over Campbell and Sirianni. If he had a SB he would be top 3 but he doesn’t so he is 5.

Agree with a Super Bowl, he would get that choking monkey off his back and he shoots up to top 5 for sure, but yeah, we're going to walk away disagreeing about top 5. :) I'm on ChatGPT's side on that one.

I hear you regarding the super bowls but Shanahan didn’t drop the INT in the end zone in 2020 and didn’t let Chris Jones run free on the most crucial third down of the game. At some point the coach can only do so much. Players need to execute. Again, he deserves criticisms in both those games but players do as well.

Lol, not trying to be a contrarian and I have a busy work day today, but I'll throw this out there too...when you put together a team, it's more than how fast they can run a 50, or how many pounds they can lift. You evaluate the players holistically, and that includes intangibles like discipline, focus, etc. As a leader, you also have to model the right behaviors, have a high EQ, know how to engage players where they're at, and bring them to where they need to be.
Given the pattern that Shanahan has carried with him...there's something he's doing wrong. Just a hypothesis, but it seems like he's probably too dialed in on getting the right personnel that can run the schemes he wants and isn't paying close enough to intangibles I mentioned earlier.
