Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2992857, member: 8988"] I seriously don't think Bennet cares what people think of him. If he did, he would be a lot more attentive to journalists. I think he cares what the players under him think of him and their opinion of his integrity. That more than anything would weigh heavily on him. I think he made some poor choices of words several times to several people and the souths swap standoff was a result. The rest is fluff. There were no extra payouts to staff, nor was the souths communications anything the Broncos would have cared about until it became a tool to use, once he became stubborn. In the board's mind, once the decision was made, he was going one way or another. They just wanted it to be seen as his choice. The vitriol between bennet and the board made the status quo untenable for the board whose job is to run a smooth organisation without personal animosities. And I suspect the senior executives wanted to make sure they were "in charge". That they behaved as they did with meetings for replacements behind his back, very likely lit a smouldering ember into a full-blown bonfire. Bennet "signed" with Porky Morgan by "word of mouth" and rarely needed to question where he stood. To go from that to behind his back replacement meetings was a step too far, and he made the fatal mistake of making his feelings known to people not used to being questioned. Egos were set alight and here we are. [/QUOTE]
