Nothing to argue about, I was thrilled when he was hired. The entire organization was basically a gong show when he arrived and the best thing about him was that he brought some credibility to the franchise. At the time, he was exactly what we needed and his hiring was a coup of sorts. He also did a good job for the first couple of years, he said the right things (which was more important for us at the time then it usually is) and he did mostly the right things as well. You say he never changed, OK maybe he didn't, I'm not going to argue the point because I really don't care. If he didn't then it's just that his style was good for us when he arrived but we got to the point where that was no longer the case.
P.S. Not that it's important but I think he maybe did change in the sense that his ego got out of control. I mean sure it was always there and always big but ... it got out of control. Or maybe he always thought he was more important than the anyone in the organization or even the organization as a whole not sure, I'm just glad he's gone.
