These "comparisons" are priceless.  What was/is wrong with him fighting for the job back WITHOUT asking for people to remove their applications, that's what I don't get.  "Asking" (he didn't really ask, he told/begged) people not to compete for something that they want because the previous owner of the team RELINQUISHED the team due to his own "mistake"/mental lapse is way over the top to me.

Nothing's "wrong" with him fighting for his job without asking for help.  What's wrong is your insistence that any other option is "way over the top" and that, given the opportunity,  you would've personally punished him yourself .

In my view, both of his options were equal...neither right nor wrong.
