Really.
Why was he hired. weird hire from the beginning. Did anyone feel like this was the guy who would survive the rebuild?
It was ahead scratch-er hire compared to the other candidates or candidate. Now they lose the continuity in the rebuild. NOt saying this guy shoulda been kept kinda saying he never should have been hired.

. I think to some degree almost any manager would've suffered the same fate with the roster limitations. But I agree with you that he was a strange hire and one that probably shouldn't have happened.
