Why not let another coach take over with this roster?.. before feeling we need to start over? We've seen that happen before in this league (and other sports). A Coach only does so much with a talented roster, different guy comes in... makes most of that roster and those opportunities.
Kyle was given an cheating team these last few years... and even more so when he lucked into Christian McCaffrey.
You expect him to have a less talented roster and...somehow do better? Pfffff... nope... I ain't dealing with another 5years of Kyle rebuilding this team, JUST to stick with the same mentality that gets him to lose Super Bowls by the time we get better.
Fuuuuuck that!
Because that's just a crapshoot. That is literally what led to us getting Jim Tomsula. The reality is you are most likely going to get a coach that is worse. The better coach (Reid) ain't available. All of the other hot names (like Ben Johnson), are just that- hot names. Hot names with no long term track record of running successful offenses. You are making a change and hoping for better. Successful coaches are more likely to conitnue winning, even with different players. Kyle didn't come here with 1-2 years of success. He had demonstrated he could run good offenses in Atlanta, Washington, and Houston. Every where he went, the offenses were top notch. So I can be sure it's more him than just lucking into players. No one except for Andy Reid has that kind of pedigree and I'm not looking to do the Tomsula experiment again hoping we catch lightning in a bottle. It's a sad reality and I hate it, because it's little tweaks here or there and we are at worst a 1 time Super Bowl winner. But we have no idea how anyone else would've done.
Beyond running good offenses, we've seen he can build a good team from the absolute bottom. Damn near a juggernaut, minus the trophies. Sean McVay is trying to do that now (he had talent when he arrived in LA). Maybe he might have done a better job? But it still remains to be seen if he can build up a top team the way he has to now and even then, he still has a better head start than what Kyle had in 2017.
I expect him to consistently get us there moreso than any other coach save for Andy Reid. And even then, I wonder how Reid looks without Mahommes. We do have the Philly years to look at which seem a lot like Kyle's. And I'd argue McNabb is far better than Garoppolo.
I will say this, as far as his weaknesses go- does anyone on the staff even challenge his special team's philsophy? We know for sure Schneider doesn't, so I have no hope in that regard that special teams will ever even be average on this team. It's kind of wild for a team that invests such high draft picks in their kicker and punter, that the head coach only wants special teams to not F up.

It's so annoying to see the blame on Kyle's offense. The blame Kyle deserves is on his defense and special teams. Stop one of those last four Rams drives and they win. Instead the Rams just ran and passed all over them. That's Kyle's fault as the HC. The play calls were mostly fine. If I could swap the 3rd and 1 run for a pass and/or the 1st and 10 pass with 1:08 left for a run, sure I'd be down for those. But overall the play calls worked but were let down by specific players messing them up. The defense and special teams were both total group/scheme failures, and that's a far, far bigger issue.
When your defense sucks it's generally accepted logic to play keep away and not let them have the ball
Agree. My only thought is maybe he didn't realize his defense sucks?
