It wasn't an interview, just a fluff piece about Mike coming back to SF and checking in on the team. But even the quote you posted comes from a video where he said that, you just didn't include it.
"And how much back and forth do you have with Kyle and the things that you see?"
"You know we don't have a lot because I know how busy he is with what you have to do to to get a gameplan ready."
I don't know, doesn't sound like he's a big part of the FO to me, anyway.
Totally a reach imo. Kyle is running the ship and overall is been really good. He's f**ked up at the most important position since day 1 and at different spots along the way. His bad ass scheme has covered up a ton of that.
My whole point is coaches overall don't view roster building the same as GMs. It's more emotional and shortsighted. Just is, they're coaches. It's about now and tomorrow we might all be dead lol.
If we had a legit GM that has actually done it and was his equal. I feel like it would be best for everyone. Just my option that's all
there have been a handful of coaches that were stripped of GM duties to protect the franchise, I don't recall if it was Holghrim or Ried...but one of those two got stripped....and others I am sure they just dont come to mind.
I agree with NY on this one
Shanny 2.0 wanted a certain type of RB from day one and that crashed and burned due to injury, he wanted a certain type of QB that failed to materialize or lacked the ability to stay on the field. He got away with smoke and mirrors for a few years to bridge the gap until he got most of the pieces he wants in the right place.
Coach do tend to think in the short term, they get fired if they don't produce, it is hard for them to worry about 2 years from now let alone 5 years from now.
That is not even bringing up the dog house. Coaches Dog house players THEY lobbied for, players THEY wanted. Look at the circus around Trey Lance. We know Shanny wanted Trey, and we still have people accusing Shanny of not wanting him and derailing his career. They think that way, because they have watched other coaches do JUST THAT.
I can't remember the coach/gm that had a hell of a feud in the 90s....but the coach jack up the GMs picks to make him look bad....I can't remember who it was, but I remember it happening. It lasted like a season and a half and I think one or the other or both was fired. I want to say it was Jerry Glanville with ATL, but I am not sure.....anyway....it has happened.
*edit*
Yeah it was Glanville, he did not want to draft Brett Farve and refused to start him, he was eventually traded to GB..and well the rest is history..... also doghoused LB collins who ended up going to New Orleans and became a double digit sack guy.
