I guess I'm still struggling with the optics part. If what happened during the AFCCG is true, that alone is reason enough to move on from EB with plenty of support for that decision.
The Chiefs jumping through hoops for one coach who isn't a good playcaller and is alleged to be difficult to work with would be worrisome as this all seems like unnecessary drama...if true.
I can understand KC wanting to do all they can to help EB get a HC job but that seems like a lost opportunity at this point.
The longer this goes the more it seems like they're trying to work something out with him unless they're still turning over stones for his replacement, otherwise just move on by making the best decisions that improve the likeliness of getting back to the SB.
Burt, if you're reading this, don't be signing or drafting any narrow asses this offseason.
