This part has been confirmed.

He seemed nice in correspondence.

My best guess is that he's a nice guy who prefers the click bait style of writing to drive traffic.

Thats reason enough to think he is a douchecanoe. If he is a nice guy, then he is either lazy and taking the easy way to get clicks or he is knowingly taking the troll approach regardless of any personal or ethical code of journalism. Either way, selling out for clicks is a douchey move, it works but is still douchey.

Again, if it's the specific poster that I think it is and have had words with on several ocassions in this thread, then he had some ridiculously idiotic things to say about our coach. It's reallt not a surprise though, because he constantly makes a fool of himself in the pressers when he attempts to show off that elementary X's and O's knowledge base he has.

I have no clue the type of guy he is(he could be a nice guy) but the click bait b******t is tiresome and really has no value.

I'm very excited about the team's future with Kyle. Dude is a offensive genius and players are playing for him. The touchdown play to Goodwin was sweet.

I don't know who it is. PM me if you don't want to post it here. Thanks.

Everyone knew Kyle was the real deal as a play caller. I am most impressed how this 1st year head coach kept this team on the rails and working hard, despite the start. There are grizzled vet coaches that could have lost the team. I am SO glad they got him instead of McDaniels. I think McD is a good OC, but no way would he have been able to weather the start of this season like Shanny did. And Kyle is a press conference plus guy too. He was the absolute best head coaching hire for this team.

Another unimpressive performance by KS....

How's KS looking now? Would love to hear your thoughts on the current state of the niners. Is Kyle's ceiling still that of Norv Turner? You had all the answers 4 games in, what about now with a whole season played.

Of course, it's just speculation. Whole lot of circumstantial evidence though.

Must have got a s**t load of "prevent defense" type coverage when he got a good QB. Also, what about those quarterly yardage breakdowns? I bet you have a seasons worth now.
