All I know is similar stories came from the Cleveland media & some of the organization on his way out and people in Boston chalked it up to them hating, trying to make him the scapegoat, smear campaign, etc. And then by the end of his run there, similar things were being said.
I’m not saying this is true because obviously I wasn’t there, but I just don’t think this is all some big conspiracy theory. Maybe it’s just how his personality is?
