Marty did not get fired because his team lost in the playoffs. That was merely the public excuse.
Marty and the GM there - - AJ Smith - - did not like each other to the point where a power struggle ensued. The stakes were "loser leaves town"; neither party really wanted to work with the other guy any longer than absolutely necessary.
Ownership chose the GM; Marty hit the bricks and took his payout.
The reason Norv got an extension is that Norv and the GM have not become mortal enemies...
