Impossible to know but considering how much of the league runs Shanahan's outside zone scheme and how deep the Shanahan coaching tree is I would guess at least 2/3 would take Shanahan.
Do you think Matthew Stafford is a better QB than Josh Allen or Joe Burrow?
I think Josh Allen and Joe Burrow are more skilled and steady than Stafford, but I think Stafford is a better clutch QB than them both.

If he is so clutch why did they lose one score games in the last two playoff runs?
Anyways, I do think Stafford is a very good veteran QB and I do think he performs well down the stretch in games but I am trying highlight that just because Stafford won a Super Bowl doesn't make him better than two QBs that didn't, one of which never got there.
It is difficult for me to determine how good Sirianni is because he doesn't call plays, he didn't hire his coordinators (I am sure he had some say but Howie hired them), and he didn't construct the roster (again I am sure he had some say but it is Howie's roster). Other than having won a Super Bowl, after having lost one and then having a complete second half collapse and losing embarrassingly in the first round the subsequent year, I can't determine what he is better than Shanahan at. Maybe he is a great motivator. Maybe he is a steady hand in times of distress. But I can't quantify these things without being in the room and neither can you so other than just solely basing it on the fact he won a super bowl and Shanahan hasn't, I don't think either of us can point to one thing he is better at than Shanahan. And if we are going to solely base it on winning the Super Bowl then Stafford must be better than Josh Allen and Trent Dilfer must be better than Dan Marino. See how silly that sounds?

Regarding Stafford -- to be fair, in both games, he was the one who led the charge to almost win it, and in one of them, it was the Lions who had the ball last to seal the win.
The analogy you gave does sound but quarterbacks are one (important) part of the symphony. At the end, it's the coach who is the maestro, so I just don't see it applicable here.
Anyway, we're going to walk away disagreeing regarding Shanahan's standing, but if he wins a Super Bowl, ask me again. :)

I agree the QB is just one player, although the most important one, but let’s not forget Andy Reid won 0 Super Bowls before having the best QB in the league. So it’s not just the coach.
Ok last question. What is Sirianni better at that makes him a better coach than Shanahan?
reply
Winning. :)

Damn the guy who doesn’t build the team, doesn’t call the plays, doesn’t play in the game is solely responsible for winning. That’s really incredible. He really is a magician.
All that winning he does and yet still 2 less playoff wins than Shanahan. Shocking since he is so great at it.
