I think Shades is a barrier to having Munch back. I think Munch's leadership threatened Shades, who as a megalomaniac, can't stand real leadership on the team. It threatens him.
The middle sounds a lot better than 27th as we were this year. I argued that we needed to increase our PPG a lot compared to 2022 of 18.3 and that I doubted - even after Shades promised an improvement in PPG in the offseason - that we had done nearly enough to improve it by much. I thought we would only improve by a few PPG. Well, little did I know that Shades was such a f--k up that we would actually decline in PPG to only putting up 17.9 PPG in 2023. We actually DROPPED. Way to go Tomlin, nice management there buddy.
I agree, but other than Dick LeBeau (who was already here by the time Shades showed up) Munch was the only "leader type" assistant coach Shades has had. Everyone else on staff is a "yes man" type of coach and the results show. You must only agree with the great Mike Tomlin.
I definitely think that Kingsbury is an improvement over what we have or had with Canada.
I’m a huge Munch fan! I think the OL players loved and respected him.

Okay, I have a question not directed at Greg necessarily, but why do I do keep reading about this moving bullshit? Why is it so difficult to move a new coach or coaches and their families? Don't other teams do this? Don't a lot of regular people move? Or are these coaches and families so special they struggle with moving? Or, is that Art making bullshit excuses?
Maybe, but I seem to recall a podcast or something or someone that pretty much said the same thing - it wasn't just us on this site. Or maybe it was Tomlin himself that said it....I can't remember but it's not the first time I've heard it.
If we're going with what is said on podcasts as evidence of how things run, Ramon Foster said on his podcast today that Tomlin does not micromanage the offense. Who knows for sure outside of those in the building though?
I have the same worry with Kliff. He hasn't been strictly an OC since 2012. That's a long time as a HC to take a step back. Some can, just not everyone.
You'd have to ask Art, he's the one who said it. And I'm sure they pay people to do all you are suggesting, but being a "family team" and all, it must weigh on Art to do his part of the song and dance that seems so bothersome.
I'm pretty sure Murray was hurt, he did start in 11 games. It turns out he wasn't the Superman they thought when they drafted him; I think he's just too diminutive. He had lightening quick feet but is too easy to bring down if you get in range; he's like a little fast kid out there.
