I think the Reason Cole has been hyped as the guy to replace Jim Ross is, at least to me, is he calls the matches the exact same way Vince used to call the matches when he was an Announcer. For better or worse, He's probably Vince's golden boy just for that fact.

Cole calls the matches well enough.
I think a big factor in the reason that he draws so much negativity is because of his high-pitched voice, or higher-pitched compared to how the ideal wrestling announcer is supposed to sound. Solie had a very engaging style of comentating, but had he had a softer voice inflection, I believe that his reputation wouldn't be as great.
Regarding that and his biases, he reminds me eerily of Joey Styles in the old ECW (incidentally, I think that Styles gets a free pass from some fans because of how well he got storylines across).

Cole is OK, he needs a heel to balance him out and play off of

Michael Cole still has a job because hell has yet to freeze over.
