I have 0 insight, but if these reports are even marginally true I don’t envy CKD. These scenarios are not limited to football or even sports. If you develop a few rotten apples in any organization, even high-performing ones, and you let them flout the rules and standards, the entire structure will collapse. It does not matter if it is a sports team, a manufacturing business, a military unit, a band, a professional practice, a faculty, whatever.
But getting rid of the rotten ones is typically difficult, painful, damaging in the short term, expensive, time-consuing, etc. And, sadly, you almost always lose a few folks you wanted and hoped to keep. They typically end up as competitors.…
Perhaps I should not have been so judgmental with regard to some who departed.
