BT probably deserves to be fired based on the results (though I still wonder whether ownership ever stopped him from trading away big pieces).
But the more important question to me is who is the best person to navigate the next 6-18 months? IMO the answer is BT. There is just too much going on and not enough time for a new guy to do the typical analysis period.
Another practical reason is that having a new GM start their tenure by trading away big pieces for underwhelming returns could loom over their tenure (what 3 moves do we remember most from Feaster? Iggy, Bouw, Janko). I suspect prospective hires might also be more enticed by a cleaner slate than having to start with deconstruction.
