Im probably giving myself way too much credit. I really hated how he handled the Kyler Murray suspension, but the lying about Kyle's injury (or covering for him or whatever the hell happened) rubbed me wrong. None of it made sense then, and today doesn't help.

Just very poor leadership from Sumlin. Still time to right the ship, but the iceberg is in sight.

Agreed. If he was suspended, even if it was a de facto suspension, it should have been announced. And, yes, KA's injury situation was very poorly managed. Don't see any way around that.

If you're saying "elite = 1st rd pick = a tall, white QB with an above average arm", I agree.

But he doesn't appear to be an elite college QB. He consistently underthrows the deep ball, his scrambling abilities are subpar, he can't make the right read on a zone read (an integral part of CFB) and he has an extremely slow release (which kills the quick game).

I'm not sure he reads defenses that well, as he's thrown a bunch of bad INTs. Apparently he's been given freedom to change plays, which has had bad consequences.

I would have loved for him to stick around for the new OC, though. He deserve better than Spav, but he apparently liked Spav, so whatever.
