Kyle Shanahan is highly sought after. And not because his last name is Shanahan

But SS how has he worked his way up? One year as a grad asst? One year as qc in tampa? Than three years in Houston with "the big three" - hired by his Dads guy? Than hired by Dad? How is that working your way up?

Are you bothered that he changed jobs so often, or that his last name is Shanahan? Either way, I think we're going to be going in circles with this debate

That would explain why Houstan's offense didn't skip a beat when Kyle left.

But it would (significantly) detract from Kyle's already thin and underwhelming resume.

If some other franchise wants an OC without any meaningful accomplishments, send him with a nice bottle of Scotch. I think the love fest for Kyle is beyond absurd, and I'm (still) not sure his apologists are even being serious, but whatevs.

The "big three" in Houston that you speak of were not the "big three" when Kyle was there. Kyle became the QB's coach in 2007 when Schaub got there, you could argue that Johnson was a established WR when Kyle was the receivers' coach in 2006, and Arian Foster didn't come into the league until 2009, Kyle's last year in Houston.

How is moving from QC, to a current position as OC, to eventually HC, not working your way up?
