Skipper Kennison Banished from Dugout by Panthers Tuesday, May 31st , 2022 Weeks of speculation were officially ended today when it was announced that Nick Kennison has been dismissed as the manager of the Pittsburgh Panthers. "I can't really say I'm surprised. I saw this coming for a while, but I guess there was nothing much I could really do to prevent it," Nick Kennison told BNN. "It's not easy to manage when every decision you make is closely scrutinized and criticized, but that's what I dealt with." A team official said the firing was the end result of "major and irreconcilable differences of opinion" between Kennison and the front office. When pressed for more information, Pittsburgh general manager skirted the issue. "We're not going to get into that right now. It's not really important why he was fired -- we're just going in a different direction," he said. BNN originally reported Kennison's tenure with the club was in jeopardy three weeks ago, which team officials at the time dismissed as "just a rumor." |
