The normal timing for management changes is the off-season. The only reason our timeline moved up is that RF made Dundon so mad he couldn't wait to remove him.
Because of what took place at the trade deadline?
Official word was that RF and TD were aligned on TDL strategy and final outcome.
However, the timing of his termination is very suspicious. TDL day Feb 26th, RF canned Mar 7th, official reports say decision to fire him was made ~5 day prior (Mar 2nd).
It's a fair theory that TD was unhappy with RF's decisions on TDL and it at least was part of the reason for his firing.
