You think ownership would have been okay with hiring a whole new coach/staff based on this info? Not a chance. If Torts insisted on leaving, we would have had the Double-Headed Brad as our coach this season. Who knows, that may have been an improvement, though. As I mentioned above, the PLD radio thing, I think was borne out of jealousy that PLD was leaving and Torts was stuck, whether he was trying to get fired for it is debatable since he knew he was pretty much stuck here for the season. But like I said, I place most of the blame on Torts for this season going sideways.
