Here's my response:
1. He's a learner and his willingness to accept that he doesn't have all the answers was glaring. He also would go to the ends of the earth each week to…
that's a vastly different perspective than the Kyle haters club lol. Shocking they have no clue who he really is
Ok, let's not get carried away.
I definitely give credit to Kyle for doing a very good job given the current circumstances, but this whole "let's all hold hands and sing Kyle's praises" nonsense needs to stop.
He still has to prove he can win the big one.
So do the majority of NFL HCs.
And I don't think people are saying Kyle is perfect. He has his flaws, it's ok to call them out - like his reluctance to really spend on the OL(though you can argue somewhat against that as well)
But simply give him the respect he deserves and don't be looking to change coaches simply because you're upset at him not being able to win those SBs(while ignoring that he was a big reason we got to those games in the first place)
You would think that we would invest heavily in a good OLine given the production he gets out of no name RBs, had a QB on a rookie contract, gets C-B+ wide receivers play like stars...why wasn't more invested in the OLine? I'm loving what he's doing this year, but they need to pump more money in the OLine and stop investing in other areas where the scheme covers up and masks a lot of things.
That sounds good but you don't just draft an O lineman with a high pick if he's not a good fit for your system. They got thrbest tackle in Williams when they made that deal. They drafted McGlinchey in the first round. Since then they've used a 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 2 5th rounders on O line. They fact that they haven't been great is anithe issue. They haven't ignored the position. They just haven't been able to land any great ones. They got 5 years of starts from McGlinchey and Aaron Banks was okay but injured a lot.
