I didn't know about the divorce and sounds a little rough as what about his second in command taking the slack for a while. When you are fired normally the entire back room team goes as well so surely it is in their best interest to look out for him.
Exactly. It's okay to take time off and allow the second in command to come in. I think he is the kind of coach that like being hands-on. His decisions has been off and I wonder what the second in command was doing since his job is also on the line as you have rightly said sir.
