McVay went out and aggressively pursued that HOF quarterback. Kyle traded 3 first round picks for a bust. Also stuck with JimmyG for an extended period of time when he could've done better. Passed over guys like a Mahomes for Kirk Cousins. We can downplay McVay's success all we want, but the reality is McVay has done a much better job putting a team together than Kyle has. McVay lost a SB, learned from his mistakes, then went onto win another one and possibly has his team poised to win another. Kyle lost a SB, then lost another to the same team.
I don't care much for Pederson or Arians. But Sirriani did win one with a lesser non HOF QB. And yes I know everyone will point toward the GM for their success but coach gets credit for that monster game plan against KC that put them out of their misery before you could blink. Same coach that lost to that same team 2 years prior, but learned from their mistakes and adjusted. We didn't.
Aggressively lol? It was well known Stafford and his wife wanted to go to LA. Also the lions new GM was part of LA's FO staff for years. s**t was handed to him. There's plenty of reporting to back all that s**t up, including Kyle trying to get Matt all the same.
Bravo for McVay, he's coaching a team in an area of the USA that players want to be lol.
McVay scored the least amount of points in a SB ever lol. Being given Stafford isn't learning from mistakes, it was handed to him. Acting like Kyle doesn't want a Matt Stafford is ignorant as s**t….bringing up Mahomes after the fact is also lame. No one was proclaiming him a generational QB in that draft, he should have went #1 overall if we're reevaluating all of it. Damn near any team could have gotten Mahomes based on where KC moved up in the draft to get him.
What the hell did Nick do to "learn" from his mistakes? Nothing was different in terms of how they were/are running their offense. Hurts still can't run a legit passing offense and his claim to fame is inventing one of the dumbest plays in NFL history.
IMO Kyle has done more with less than McVay over their tenures. I think both are great HCs, but trying to deflect a f**king epic meltdown because he won a SB years ago is so hypocritical.
