if he said anything bad about Ozzy then I'm glad he's gone.....lolAre you sure you aren't letting your Italian bias creep in?
Apparently some of his biggest critics among players were also the best players. That kind of goes counter to your supposition.
I look at it this way.
He didn't want to be here.
A lot of the players didn't like him.
It appears that he was incompatible with McD in terms of being "hungry" and putting in the long hours that are expected of coaches.
I wasn't high on the hire to begin with, as I don't like the philosophy/scheme. Best to just cut ties and move on.
Edit: And he bad mouthed Ozzy........
it is what it is and I'm ready to move on....but, keep in mind players in denver were happy Butch Barry was gone and yet he did a great job with the OL he had to work with here so the fact some players might not like a coach doesn’t make him a bad coach
pretty sure a lot of players didn’t like Belichick either
