That's a nice way of saying he has been fired... New Owner wants him out, probably told him to retire quietly and he gets paid a bonus.

True that he's being forced out, but I don't think he pursues another position. I wouldn't want him, either. Great coach - successful everywhere as a coach - but has had zero success as an executive.

He may have been a success as a HC because of the system there in GB, but as you said, he has basically been a failure in the front office everywhere else.

Don't forget he also took Seattle to a SB as HC once his executive duties were scaled back.
