He tried to get his boss fired. Nobody wanted to be the next GM that he pulled that on.

Just love how the Stan Bowman hire dust settled and everything is back to great again in Coiler land. What a trash franchise.

Remember all the fans that were boycotting the team? Couldn't even make it to training camp.

I respect the anger and conviction in their words at the time of the hiring, but I just don't see stang and anyone else actually leaving this team and putting a full stop to their fandom. Especially right now while the team is a contender.

Yeah there was a power struggle there not much different than Tippet getting Don Maloney fired in Phoenix except in Nolan's case the GM won.
