Well, comparing Sir Alex to Shanahan is a travesty.. but I see your point.
I think with the Broncos having a 3 game lead and then having their defense lay down and choke says alot. The owner asked Shanahan who was deep in the football operations to make some changes and Shanahan didn't even entertain the idea. He just refused. When a coach is more than the coach, he's going to take more than a coach's share of the blame.
It's just different in American Football. People blame the coaches more than the players.
