The only thing unusual about Huey being fired is that it did not happen last year. Period.
So was Huey a bad coach? Certainly not. Owner’s favorite or not, he would not have survived through multiple coaching changes if he was not good at his job. But it would take a pretty superior person to not become stale in a job that long, especially if he never felt the pressure to perform his best due to a seemingly lifetime guarantee of employment.
I think this is a reasonable take. I think he dismisses other theories too quickly, but he’s right: with most clubs Huey would have been gone before the 2009 season.
