Bummed about the Merritt comments he was my top candidate, but yeah that's just classless, can't have that. Honestly doesn't surprise me as there are a lot of trashy elements in the KC culture

Sometimes the truth hurts, but he didn't come across as a coordinator level mind when I read that. I like his story, but youd think after 20 years he paid attention to more than just his DB's and I wonder if he has that kind of mind etc. Some guys like Merritt or Kocurek are best fit managing a unit.

You all do realize this was a casual talk show that took place at least a week
before the interview, right? Why would his comments on a casual talk show from 7+ days ago suddenly take him out of the running?
I swear you all just let journalists and the media control your thoughts. Just because they found an interesting old talk show segment that anyone could've looked up doesn't mean it's suddenly news/relevant
Casual talk show or serious press conference, I don't even think his comments are that big of a deal. So he's brutally honest about our offensive performance and pointed out that Wilks' firing had something to do with the season as a whole. We've known that for awhile now. If anything the only "red flag" is he didn't know how to pronounce Aiyuk's name. But when you dig deep and study X's and O's so intensely, it's not out of this world to think he knows our players more by their numbers than names.
