Message: [QUOTE="Ottawa Orange, post: 448587, member: 2559"] This no doubt seems harsh and cynical to some, but it is usually true. It's like a politician or CEO resigning, "to spend more time with the family". That's usually a euphemism for, "I'm being run out of here, but I'm trying to keep my dignity intact." Every once in a while, someone actually does leave a job to spend more time with the family, but it has become such a time-worn cliche that no one believes it anymore. When a coach "removes his name from consideration", it is usually done when he learns that someone else has the inside track for the job, and they take the opportunity to get out of the traffic before that person is formally named to the job.
