    Does Neil have something on McGowan and used it to save his own job so Chris stepped down?

    Is this team having a nuclear meltdown top to bottom? What is going on?

    I don't care that hes gone, did a terrible job with the root sports deal. But what's happening? Im hoping Jody sells the team Neil is fired and we completely blow up the roster and start fresh. Is this the start of that?

    Yeah like they expect us to believe is this not related . I bet he saw the results of the investigation and maybe it showed he turned a blind eye to some stuff so left before he could get fired?

    Do you think new leadership will give Chauncey much of a chance after a poor start or get rid of him in record fashion also?

    how about this for a possible explanation of McGowan's resignation:

    the investigation has revealed there's been big problems with Olshey's management style for years. McGowan approved Olshey's 3 years contract extension 2 years ago, when he should have fired Olshey instead. The Vulcans are blaming McGowan for that extension (and Root Sports)

    does that make any sense?

    I would support that, or with a new GM perhaps we give it one more shot with Dame and trading a guy like CJ (and others), however Dame at 31 and looking shaky this season I do wonder if thats a wise choice.

    Ok was just told it’s totally unrelated to Olshey. Took another job elsewhere.

    Is making that horrid Root Spoorts deal his way of pooping on his deck and flicking off the boss before quitting?

    I think this is the beginning of an entire tear down. Weird ominous feeling.

    If you were a player in the prime of your career why would you want to stay here with things unraveling?
