I love it how Shanahan gets the blame for that loss

but in the two Super Bowls as head coach, his defensive coordinators have escaped blame for giving up huge leads.

He must just be all-powerful. As the OC, he's responsible for the offensive playcalling as well as the defensive scheme and playcalling and as head coach he's responsible for everything. Dan Quinn? Just a dope (well, that part might be true). Robert Saleh? Teflon. Steve Wilks? Nope.

All Shanahan. Ignore the wide open wr's that his qb couldn't hit (Jimmy) or didn't have time to get to because of a protection breakdown (Brock). Ignore the defensive failings on 3rd and 15. And absolutely ignore the poor officiating.
