“… The query everyone is asking is, are issues so dysfunctional behind the scenes in relation to the facility wrestle, in relation to what they’re telling Invoice to do: don’t have Jordon round anymore. Cease behaving in the way in which that you’ve got. Principally telling him, for the primary time actually, that you just’re an worker and never the boss of this constructing in the way in which that he might have been assuming he can be, then there may be the power for him to get out of it.
“And that’s before you even consider the fact that stuff is so crazy when it comes to how his family feels, how the people around the school feel, that there’s this larger, ‘Hey, so coach met this woman when she was 19 years old on an airplane and now she’s kind of running his public image as his girlfriend. Is this something that’s sustainable? Is that fireable? What does he have to do to get fired? These are all active questions.”
