in Hugh's opening presser he said something along the lines of "MY first recruiting job was to retain Caddy and we got him!"

I agree it’s not a good look to have two coaches leave with a scandalous cloud over their heads and that the HC is responsible for his staff, but I also can see that both of these appear to be guys doing stuff that you expect a professional to avoid doing. Also in no way do I believe Caddy was Freeze’s highest priority or that any “recruiting” actually went into retaining him.

Seems like his role was to be a bridge and help the ship from sinking. He’s done that and it’s time to get someone more capable in the job. Wish it could have been under better circumstances but at least Freeze doesn’t have to worry about the creed monsters rioting because he fired Caddy.
