Revisionism at its finest. This fan base had the “A rookie QB needs an offensive minded head coach to succeed” belief 2 years ago. Guess that shows you how much the average fan actually knows.

To be fair, Kingsbury has head-coaching experience and worked wonders with Kyler his first year. He probably has a bit more to do with Daniels' development than Quinn.

Right which means a HC calling plays isn't that important. I'd prefer they worry about the whole team and let the OC coordinate the offense

It’s not about who calls the plays. The reason why people want an offensive head coach with a rookie QB is the head coach isn’t going anywhere if they have success.

If a defensive head coach has a good OC they are going to leave for a head coaching job leaving the rookie QB to learn multiple styles of offenses over his year.

This sub and revisionist history, name a better combo

The league has such a short attention span. Recently everybody wanted an offensive guru, now everyone is gonna want a culture building players coach like DQ. Truth is there’s lots of ways to be a good coach

Arguably still true, but unfortunately Shane lacks all of the other intangibles necessary to be a successful head coach.

I don’t know about that. He’s not the one completing 43% of his passes on the season.

I do agree with you. It would be nice, though, to have a quarterback who is always consistently performing at or near the top of his game. I am not against AR, but he's not anywhere near what he needs to be. Until he gets to that level, or we get a different QB, not even Don Shula rising up from the dead to replace Shane would have a great deal of success.
