Of course, I don't expect you to be able to see that clearly, given that you have had your opinion made up for a long time now, and don't seem to be capable of looking past your entrenched opinion to consider other alternative explanations.

Agree to disagree but saying I "don't seem capable" seems unnecessary. I don't think there is anything wrong with being unwilling to change my position on something. The evidence is just too strong against this guy. The O'Reilly incident alone is one of the worst non-Milbury/Snow cases of GM ineptitude I have ever seen in professional sports. And he took zero responsibility for it. Most of what he did indicated a very poor understanding of what it takes to run a team in this league successfully. I'm not going to apologize for feeling that way. You and others are welcome to disagree but as Feaster would say, it is "academic" at this point because the people making decisions felt he didn't do a good enough job to stay on.
