This was as much a performance failure firing as it was one of concern for the locker room culture and treatment of players.
I think the mental abuse and talk about physical altercation would not have been overlooked.

Like Babcock Sutter never should have had a job again after LA.

You rarely hear of a team wanting to fire a coach after 2 cups in 3 years.
