Mike Shanahan does not have my full support right now because he has screwed the pooch in the QB situation since he got here.
He needs to hit a home run this year or I'm calling for his head.
He needs to work with Kyle more also (or replace him).
I dont trust Kyles play calling for squat.

What specifically are you looking for from Kyle to win you over? I'll couch that by saying we all need to see more scoring production and a higher conversion ratio in the red zone.

But with Kyle's detractors, I often wonder what it is that you perceive is missing purely from a coaching standpoint.

Kyle cant make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Non bizarre play calling with people way out of position for starters.
His age makes me nervous also.
Notice that the Texans finally make the playoffs after he leaves.
I also dont like the father and son thing.
Makes it harder for Mike to fire him if hes blowing it.
His belief in Grossman was total fail.

I think this had more to do with the Texans finally getting a defense to go along with their top notch offense.

Yep, and Peyton sitting on the sidelines didn't hurt either

Help me out with 'non bizarre play calling' because 3 of your 6 reasons have more to do with his birth certificate than his coaching ability. So you're saying if his name was Kyle Anderson and he was 54 yrs old you would have less of a problem with him as a coach? The Texans thing has zero to do with him and everything to do with the defense.

I agree that the belief that Grossman would reverse his turnover tendencies was a major mistake but again, what does that have to do with his ability as a play caller?
