If there was something there, it isn't now. Just some people asking why the staff was let go. Anybody know what's up?

Chicago Bearcat Nation, We regret to inform you that our coaching staff has decided go in a different direct due to new information learned through the league office. This decision was made with the best interest in mind of the players, fans, and coaching staff. It’s unfortunate however; the coaching staff feels that at this time they must separate themselves from the Rivals Pro Football League and all its subsidiaries. We the staff would like to thank Mr. Hines and the RPFL and wish the league the very best of luck with their future endeavors.
Chicago Bearcats

The entire staff of the Chicago Bearcats has been fired as coaches. There has been a new staff hired to replace all coaches. The former coaches were offered a spot as quality control and other diminished roles. Gentleman we apologize for this turn of events but Quentin Hines says he is acting in your best interests.

I don't know, usually you don't write that nice a note if it's a money issue, unless you are trying not to burn bridges. And the whole staff, all at once? I'm going with control issues.

They cancelled their first pre-season game. The Coaching Staff quits. And people want to know what happened. I would say ask "BigTimeHines" but that too would offer no answers. So you want to know what happened. Control issues is the answer. A source close to the BearCats said the owner called Chicago draftees and told them not to play in Chicago and to play on his hometown team in Detroit. Further to that, during the first training camp, the owner showed up over 6 hours late with the equipment. Instead of coming in a night before he left that morning and ran into difficulties. The staff ran the conditioning test and cut a player for not making the time. The owner questioned the cut and wanted to run the conditioning test a second time where the coaching staff put their foot down and said no. End of Story, Staff Released. For sticking up for what was right.
This would be why one owner should not own multiple teams. Conflict of interest will run rampant in the league. If they want to succeed, they should put the teams up for sale and truly create an independent league.

I think in the beginning you can work with one person owning a the league, if they can avoid playing favorites. Sounds like Hines can't.

For sticking up for what was right. This would be why one owner should not own multiple teams. Conflict of interest will run rampant in the league. If they want to succeed, they should put the teams up for sale and truly create an independent league. It seems there is a few versions of this story going around. First, the preseason game against Detroit was not "cancelled," Detroit ended up playing Southern Michigan (Final Score: 7-0 for Detroit). Chicago could not get transportation to Detroit to play the Cougars. Is this Mr. Hines fault or should each Team GM be responsible for providing adequate means of transportation for the teams?? The Second version of this story is the Bearcats coaching staff was indeed fired. Quentin Hines showed up an hour or so late, but nonetheless after the Bearcats staff took it upon themselves to run the conditioning test. Apparently, the Bearcats staff told Hines that not a single person failed the test. As the CEO of the League, Hines ran the other 3 conditioning tests (So Mich, Detroit and Akron) and did not want anyone doing anything not under his supervision (for insurance purposes. If someone happened to get hurt, or hospitalized, running an NFL conditioning test, he wanted to be there, because he is the one responsible.) As stated before the coaches did not agree with Mr. Hines decision and thus were let go.
