More than likely higher ups have wanted him gone for a while because I'm sure with a wildcard like Grapes there's always a risk someone with the ad dollars will be offended. Digging his feet in on this one gave them the ammo they needed to make the final push. TBH I used to watch Coaches Corner all the time growing up, can't recall the last time I tuned in and talking with my group of friends that sentiment is pretty shared. Like a lot of things this is probably a business move wrapped up in public interest blanket.
