What could have Sexton or Krusty done better in your opinion? Krusty would not want a coach in waiting or a farewell tour.
Great question. I don't have immense knowledge of the situation but I just have to think that those in power could have made it a more amicable ending.
Gene thought he was above the law. He was told a year ago what he needed to do - make a change and bring a new hitting coach in - he refused. In fact he was beligerant towards his boss from the stories. He had became a excuse maker, a siloh of no. He called Sexton bluff and lost. He didn't work with the Athletic department well (example the Coy fiasco).
He thought he had beaten Sexton - he scheduled one of his worst schedule ever. Through that he thought he could win so much that nobody could rationally make a case to fire him if he won 50 games. But his team didn't do to well. He thought he had got a reprieve when he pulled the miracle run in the MVC tournament - but he was already a dead-man walking.
