All I know is absolutely nothing about analyzing specials teams, so I'll defer to the vast vast vast majority of people that say he's the best special teams coach in the league.

CP needs something to bitch about. Probably nothing more complicated than that.
Heck, just the few pieces of primetime games I've seen this season tells you that we're pretty buttoned up on ST vs. the rest of the league. The only team with a better kicker situation than KC is BAL, and that's only because they have Tucker. Outside of Tucker, they don't do anything better than KC does ST-wise.
And every other special-teams unit in the league is far below KC's, year in and year out. Basically, our ST unit is boring. They do their jobs every game. We've had a couple miscues this season and a bit last season, but we've also had a little merry-go-round with our returners during the same period. We got spoiled because for awhile there Tyreek was our returner and the whole time he was doing it he only made like two mistakes, and otherwise he did something special every other time he caught it. After that it was a carousel of rookies, including Hardman, so of course CP went nuclear every time Hardman didn't run one back for a TD (as if Hill did, but rose-colored glasses). Heck, one game I remember a couple years back people were upset with Hardman because he waved for a fair catch maybe a smidge early.
Mostly CP is populated with some good to great football minds, but sometimes CP gets pretty stupid about dumb shit as well.
