Issues with the article - this isn't comprehensive, there's a lot there:
1. The tin foil perspective on the NFL's level of control in regards to reporting. I'm sure they try with some success but that level of Machiavellian control & scheming is a bridge too far.
2. Kafka leaving. I would think they'd tell him to hang around in this scenario.
3. EB has it written into his contract to call plays? Not sure I buy that with this regime.
4. I could come up with the Nagy returning theory. Doesn't mean it's not true, but still.
Counterpoint,
1. Half the league has interviewed EB & has passed. There is no doubt in my mind the league would like him to get a job & has probably leaned on more than one team to consider him. Something(s) clearly wrong w/ the dude.
2. The team's been off for much of the year offensively.
3. Frankly a lot of what's in the article makes sense.
4. Obviously EB hasn't resigned with the team yet. I figured he either would or was possibly looking at an OC job someplace else thinking if he found success somewhere else it would enhance his resume to the end of getting a HC job that is pretty clearly not going to happen otherwise but the reason being the team is looking to part ways is certainly possible.
5. I have little doubt the team has concerns with the optics of parting ways with a black OC in 2022 (if that's what they want to do). I also think they have cover if that's what they want to do considering Mahomes & the fact that EB's interviewed with half the league as I mentioned above, people are onto the dude. I also have little doubt that corrupt members of the media would be resistant to reporting that part of it b/c its counterproductive to their social goals in an environment where the end always justifies the means.
****************
My guess is there are things in there that are true & this dork made up what he needed to fill in the gaps.
