Hypothesis #1; One of the first things a person has to do from time to
time is ask themselves "Am I getting up in the morning looking forward
to going to work?". If the answer is "No" then finding another job or
line of work is a must.
Hypothesis #2; Management looked at the bottom line (avg attendance up
+4k/game) and decides they can "afford" to hire a "better" skipper.
Me - I'm hoping it's #1 with no amount of #2. Any other answer and
management is full of #2.
