However saying the stuff he said simply wasn't smart. He had to know there would be consequences for taking it as far as he did. The Chiefs are a big part of 810 and to throw their head coach under the bus like that was not good for business.
I am however, thrilled he is gone because I couldn't stand listening to that ego maniac and the station is much better off without him.

People get fired all the time in the "real world" (i.e. non-entertainment industries) for saying the wrong thing about the wrong person. In nearly all of those cases, I'm willing to bet those firings were waiting to happen due to poor job performance or just mailing it in after many years.
Hell, here in Fargo they have their own sports talk radio station reserved exclusively for NDSU athletics-- we're talking Division I-AA competition! I don't give a flying **** about NDSU women's basketball or NDSU sports in general, but the local yokels they hired to talk these sports are better jockeys than KK specifically because they try to keep the conversation engaging without going overboard on troll takes just to get people talking and riled up. It's really not that hard.
KK was boring, and when he wasn't boring he was a giant Skip Bayless-level troll. The station decided to move in a different direction. Good for them.
