What are you talking about? He actually said the words. He stated that pressure and stress caused them to fire Dennis.
Let that sink in. The day after a professional football team fired their HC, the GM said that the cause was due to pressure and stress on the organization, not merit.
That's not imagination. That's real. And it's a terrible look. Maybe stand behind your owner's decision instead of continuing to make excuses for the guy that she just fired.
