The only report we have of the attendees even was Jalen's own account, which may or may not be embellished to make him seem less of the problem than he may have been. Nothing published proved or even provided specific justification for how he felt.

How do you know Tom undermined his coach? What if Tom just asked Jalen if he had a beef with Doug, and that's all that was said? Would you rather the EVP allow players to lay hands on coaches, overstep their coaches' authority, or think that they run the show?

Plain and simple every dang thing in this story is speculation. Jalen knows what was said in that room. The other people in that room know what was said. Only one person outwardly reacted over what was said. I don't want Tom to make the private matter public. You do that, and not one FA will ever want to sign here. Jalen's feelings were hurt, and he chose how to deal with that emotion. Attempts were made to smooth the waters, but he remained steadfast. Another word might be stubborn.

Because according to both Doug and Jalen the sideline incident was a non issue.....then Coughlin went at Jalen and we saw how it ended up. 

An exec has no reason to call out players like he did in camp and has no reason to go after players when the games are over either. If you don't think that's undermining the HC I don't know what to tell you. 
Also pretty clear Marrone thought the front office should have stopped being cowardly and talked to the media about the trade (even if it's not about the incident). Nobody is asking Tom to detail the incident.  

So just to clarify.. do you put any fault on Tom in this situation?
