Now THAT would be stupid. At worst case scenario, you force him to sign an experienced veteran GM and DC. But you don't let him walk.
For real. Good luck getting a competent HC to come in afterwards if Kyle is shown the door. My biggest question about him were answered when he kept the team on board after starting 0-9 and again after last season's bad start. How he kept that lockeroom committed to him after two terrible starts to the season is a minor miracle.
Yeah and he seems like the kind to grow and adapt like his very own offense.
For instance:
1. He's admitted he relied too heavily on JG to carry the team and cover up too many holes.
2. He's admitted he didn't add enough competition last year and players became complacent with locked up starting positions
3. He got rid of the ping pong table
I mean, personally, #3 alone is hard evidence he's a ground breaking talent.
My only concern was his ability to lead the whole team including being dialed in on defense with the same expectations he has for himself and his offensive unit. IIRC, a former player, Kevin Mitchell (not him...hmmm) said that was the hardest part for Kyle but he got better at it.
I think this year, hopefully he'll be freed up to address the defense more with help from Woods and an offense going into year 3.
