im going to keep trusting defensive coordinators who said Kyle's the best play caller over some people in a forum.

When are people going to understand. Its said over and over and over again. Being a good play caller or play designer does not make you a good head coach.

Does Shanahan dial up great plays at some points? I dont think anyone will argue against this. His problem is managing games and making s**t calls at the worst time. He should stick to being an oc. He also should shut the hell up during the draft. He obviously cant spot talent.

The problem your facing is no one cares what you say.

You have to be a complete moron to think that Kyle isn't at least a good HC. You can argue that he isn't great, but anyone saying he isn't a good coach either is just attention seeking or a dumbass.

Truth hurts.

Please don't mistake this quoting of you as validation of your response (I really don't care what you say). I just want to point out that no one else quoted you, thereby adding evidence to Hysterikal's claim, that no one cares what you have to say. That is all.

There's a multitude of reasons. He wasn't good situationally in Philly (like Kyle) but he learned (like Kyle hopefully will without having to be fired). Then after that his qb was Alex, so can't blame him for never winning any playoff games in those years. Mahomes is great, but Andy could do it with guys like Burrow and Allen too. I don't think Mahomes has 3 rings if Kyles coaching the Chiefs

I hope you see the double standard here: Andy is excused for having Alex, but Kyle is not commended for winning a bunch of playoff games with Jimmy G and Purdy. The Shanahan haters constantly blame him for the QB's shortcomings.

Also, the bolded senence is purely speculation. I can also speculate that Kyle would've had 3 rings with Mahomes, especially with blatant officiating bias and Spagnulo as his DC.

Lynch called Shanahan and told him he just saw the greatest QB workout he's ever seen before the draft in reference to Mahomes.

Shanahan ignored Lynch and rigidly wanted to stick to the plan of acquiring Kirk Cousins in FA after the forthcoming season was over. Zero flexibility with his dumb ass man crush on Cousins.

Reid saw the same workout Lynch did and traded up 20 spots in the 1st round to take Mahomes.

That is why Reid has his rings and Shanahan doesnt.

When your GM calls you to tell you that despite the plan up to that point, that he just saw the greatest QB workout he's ever seen and maybe they should consider pivoting and considering taking this guy... you listen.

Kyle didn't. Idiot.

Wasn't Solomon Thomas good friends with John Lynch?

Drafted his BFF over a 1st Ballot H.O.F QB

And yet I've been right about everything. 9 years in with no superbowl and waiting. Team in shambles and aging. Lance a bust. Drafting has been s**t. Both offensive draft picks inactive yet again.

Maybe no one cares about what i have to say because THE TRUTH HURTS.

Who are the idiots? Im living in the movie idiocracy.

Kyle would make a great OC. He's just a bad head coach and an even worse GM.

that's why I'm hoping 2026:

HC - Robert Saleh
DC - Demeco Ryans
OC - Mike McDaniel

trade Kyle for multiple first round picks OR pray he gos on a major bender in Cabo and quits

Mahomes was projected to be a 2nd rounder IIRC, pretty sure no team had him on their boards in the top 5.
