The sideline incident when he was with the Cards spazzing on Anquan Bolden in the playoffs. He's just not a people person and players just aren't going to play hard, long for a guy like that. Yeah the injuries hurt but the losing is a good excuse for Pioli correct his mistake and get rid of a guy that isn't head coach material.
I assume Pioli wanted to get him out of there ASAP just to get his abrasive nature out of the locker room so they could put him in the past and focus on next year.

I was never a fan of the hire in the first place, and stated as much numerous times. Not that I'm a football expert by any strech of the means. I just figured he was the flavor of the month when the Cards went to the Super Bowl and was the easiest hire for Pioli at the time. Some Cardinals fans I know where more than happy to see him leave Arizona.
Still, I was hoping it would work out. But it is time for a change with the complete lack of production on offense so far this season. I really hope the Chiefs can find a decent coach. Maybe Marty will come back.
