This is one situation where no one was in the right.  What Ramsey did could not be tolerated.  Just to say, "Me and the coach are good" means what Ramsey did in the sideline was okay, just part of the game.  That would severely undermine the head coach.   On the other hand, it was handled very very poorly by the Jags' brass.   What Ramsey did was horrible, but what Caldwell then did was completely stupid.  What was called for was de-escalation, a heart to heart talk with Ramsey, with just one person, not four, and then a public apology by Ramsey or a fine.   The one thing one should not do if they care about retaining the player is to escalate the anger of the moment.

In the end it facilitated better things, such as regime change and a new brighter outlook. They’re all gone now. Better times are ahead.

That's a good view of it.
