Nope maybe it wasn't during the season but after the season but there was truth to Darryl wanting to fire Brent at some point.
Also Mike Keenan has said that Darryl never wanted to fire him to start with and I believe it was Ken King and ownership that wanted to bring in Brent.
Even Elliott Friedman was talking about Brent and Darryl's relationship on his podcast a couple weeks ago and about how it was sour at the time.
Francis is a bit of a hack but I think that was one story he was actually all over.
