I guess Bob wants to be a position coach somewhere?
I mean it would seem that they could've given him the opportunity to simply retire and I have to imagine they did. But if he wants to keep coaching, he's not going to 'retire' and then go look for a new job. I guess the alternative is that he had a couple years of guaranteed salary due to him and had he retired he wouldn't have gotten it, but even that could've been dealt with via a negotiated buyout and a graceful exit.
Just seems odd that a guy as loyal as Reid actually formally shitcanned him instead of giving him a soft landing.
Oh well - needed to be done and the 'how' isn't exactly relevant.
