I didn't like the hiring of Torts, but gave him the benefit of the doubt. Things didn't start too badly for him until the injuries mounted, then he made the huge mistake of running his top lines into the ground. That mistake cost him his job. He tried to win every battle at all costs, without any long term strategy to win the war. I had begun to like some of what Torts did, but he deserves to be fired, after those rookie mistakes. It may be that Torts was more concerned about his job, than the team, and made a gamble that didn't pay off. You need people that can see the big picture, and willing to make the necessary sacrifices, especially when they're not sure that management sees it the same way.
