This is all I am asking: If McC had been drinking on the job for an extended period of time why did they not make a plan and stick with it? Clearly he was a weakness that needed to be addressed, why did they do in the haphazard way of firing him during free agency? It wasn't like they saw him having 1 beer on the job and decided he had to leave immediately. Who was the last GM fired during free agency not named McCloughan? Shit, the Seahawks and 49ers knew he had a drinking problem and they still didn't end up with the mess we have now.

It's all speculation at this point. Maybe the death of his mom, even at 100, did throw him deeper than is being acknowledged. Maybe the team hoped to get through FA, and maybe even the draft, but when he missed both the combine and the start of FA, they felt they had to act. Maybe the darkest reports of smears and jealousy by BA are in fact the actual reason.

We may not know for several months/years. It's a shame because he was a fan favorite, and in that respect, maybe they had to let the fans see him miss both the combine and FA in order not to have a fan revolt (even doing it with him missing has cracked that door open).
