Kyle Flanagan & the coach

Why would either have been under pressure when Kyle was signed? They have brought down so much pressure on themselves now due to performance over the last 2 years.
I think it is crazy to coach your son in a professional sport. Signing them is even crazier. It was a terrible idea. The father/son narrative is always boiling away in the background. Invites way too much pressure. It's OK for the Clearys, but that's only because Nathan is one of the greatest ever and winning constantly makes it OK.

I don't, or didn't think Kyle is all that bad but Flanno is bringing down so much pressure on both of them! The way he keeps saying something to end of, if not in verbatim, "Kyle is/was/has been one of our best" the more Kyle struggles.

If he said something like, "Kyle has struggled along with half a dozen others but I'm sticking with him for now as he's solid in defence and no one is knocking down the door to replace him." I think people would be on both their cases far less.
