What's his issue with Snyder?
I mean it's a lot of things, disagreements with Mike, feeling undermined by others on staff, wanted to do some things but wasn't allowed, Snyder wanting to meet with him regularly, and long commutes suck when you're losing

Wait...wait. Whoa...whoa... Why is Snyder wanting to meet with the offensive coordinator? I thought that jackass was going to stay away from the football operations.

Who else on the staff could undermine Kyle? The only person capable of doing that is Mike and Bruce. If it were some WR/QB coach, couldn't daddy fire them?

Kyle should have made himself a "out" clause in case of crap like this. Didn't he just sign a new contract this past year? I seriously doubt he got a 5 year deal with daddy.

Listen, around the league owners meet with HC and Coordinators. Some more than others. But it happens.

If you paid 800 million for a team, and your offense sucked, chances are you'd be having conversations with your play caller. Lol.

Whether he quits or is fired, Shanny isn't coming back for 2014.

I posted this question on Extremeskins.com, "Shannahan and Pete Carroll were hired within in days of one another, who's done a better job building their roster and why, plus name one position we're better at compared to Seattle". Of-course there were a lot of excuses.

They weren't in the same situation. You can't compare coaches taking over two different teams (and culture) and compare the two.

Shanahan is a good coach. Shanahan is a bad GM. That pretty much explains it.
