I Campo is part of the problem
Not because a few mouth breathers think he’s a nong, he ain’t, quite the opposite
I think the problem is that campo is good, and has become rusted on and maybe has the ear of a few too many people
He’s not that fussed about a Head job (boom tish) so he’s an over qualified senior assistant
I reckon he probably has the ear of a few board members and senior execs, who wouldn’t be afraid of asking him what he thinks when things are going south.
This inadvertently makes him the king maker, the guy people listen to. In doing so, it fundamentally undermines the head coach without meaning to or doing anything at all. It’s not his fault
How can Don manage or trust a guy he knows has everyone’s ear. A bit like the bosses son.
He’s no fool, and he’s a good contributor, but there must be a little mistrust when you’ve got a guy there who is rusted on.
You see him to talking to people, suddenly a couple of board members start suggesting ideas you know came from him - and you don’t like
And it’s because everyone knows Campo is a good performer, but he’s been there too long for Don to really trust him
He needs to go to let Don breathe
