Spots seven through four on Colin Cowherd’s list are occupied by the likes of Brian Flores, Matt Nagy, John Harbaugh, and Sean McVay. Cowherd names Philadelphia Eagles boss – Doug Pederson – at number three on the list. He argues that Pederson’s post-season record is second to none which is why he is ranked so high up the list. Colin goes with Buffalo Bills boss Sean McDermott at number two.  McDermott, who served as an assistant coach for the Panthers and Eagles in the past, is known for his offensive style of play. At number one, Colin Cowherd goes with the obvious choice of San Francisco 46ers’ Kyle Shanahan. The 40-year old led the 49ers to last year’s Super Bowl which they ultimately lost to Kansas City. However, Shanahan recently signed a new five-year extension with the San Francisco franchise which will keep him at the Bay till 2025.
