Bobby is employed by the Kings and said that the coach should be fired. Now having him fired or suspended may be over reactions but it's not Bobby place to say that. It IS the agents place to defend his client.
It is pure speculation that minority owners are the ones that nixed the Karl firing. Vlade himself said today that it is his call alone on coaching issues.
And it's the agents place to demand a media person be fired? Where did he say the coach should be fired?

Bobby never said the word fired but that was what he was clearly implying if you look at the context and aren't trying to make excuses for him. Bobby Jackson is my favorite Kings player ever but it's my opinion that media and commentator employed by an organization shouldn't comment on a whether a fellow employee should be fired. The agent provided solid reasoning as to why. Even Grant Napear, who well respected in the field nation wide, says that it's not his place to comment on whether Karl or Vlade or any one employed by the Kings be fired. That is for their superior to decide and comment on if they deem it appropriate. They can definitely give their opinion on they're job performance.
The agent isn't bound to the team. His only obligation is to his client. I even said that the agent overreacted by suggesting a punishment. But he isn't crossing a line others hold clearly to be correct etiquette in the business by protecting his client. It appears Bobby is. That was my point.
KF10 - The timing of the release of the info was subject to the writer of the above story. In fact, we have no idea when he was sent the email. It was probably right after he heard it on Friday after the game. All we know for sure tho is that the article was posted today.
You said, "I personally think it is well in his rights to analyze and criticize as long as he provides his reasoning. And he did"
Where does Bobby provide reasoning? It is nowhere in the quoted text or the article.
