Obviously, Lurie and Chip took different sides on the Gamble/ Roseman showdown and it seems like Lurie and Chip had their own showdown as a result.
IMO, With all of his clout, Chip took the keys to the car as a GM and didn't care if it crashed and burned because like he told a reporter after his dismissal, he would have a HC job within a week ( it actually took 2)... And of course he ended up with Gamble's team.
IMO, Lurie foolishly gave Chip the keys because of his past promises of full support, etc. I mean the billionaire is a man of principle and damn it, he's not going to let a temporary crash and burn of his team get in the way of his reputation as a man of principle! Bye bye 2nd rounder. Bye bye players without decent compensation in return. It turned into a high stakes pissing match!
Lurie lost the pissing match and unfortunately, we ( not him) suffer.
