Crew chief change at DSR (1 Viewer)

That Shoe he's a real class act

All of you are wrong on the facts of the seperation reasons.

Shoe

No one has a problem with the reason or lack of reason. That's your right as team owner. It's the method we object to. If someone makes a decision that drastically affect another persons life then that person deserves to hear it face to face. To do otherwise decreases your worth as a man and a human being.

You know what, it's business and Don can do what he pleases, it's really none of our business. Give it a rest!

 

[shoe]

For sure. Also, I live in Florida.

That is a answer to Terry about TJ.

Keep on keeping on Don, you didn't get where you are by making bad decisions!

I wish I was in Indy and I would have gone to the shop and dealt with it. I cannot disagree with you that the right thing would have been to meet with Rob face to face. I did not do that and any reason is just a excuse. It was my decision to do it via the phone.

So Tommy Jr.s ride is still a go I hope?

Yeah, Megan Schumacher posted a photo of the new Make A Wish body on her blog. It looks great.

Connie didn't have a plane you could borrow

The only time I hear of someone leaving JFR is when they do so on their own accord.

But you said he knows how to treat them right. If true, they would all still be there.
I have heard he doesn't even know crew guys' names.

In most large comany's the owner usually doesn't even do the hiring and firing, so the fact that Don himself called Rob shows me that DSR has a lot more integrity then some are giving them credit for. I don't know Rob personally but he seems like a pretty nice guy when i see him around the pits or on the starting line, and i hated to hear this news, but i'm sure he will land a new gig somewhere just as good. I also realize that sometimes there has to be changes made for what ever the reason may be, and i'm sure that this had to be a really tough decision for the DSR management to make. That being said, i hope whoever tunes that car will give TJ a car that can win some rounds this year...except when he is lined up next to us of course.

Well said Don. It takes a man to step up and admit mistakes. Thank you! Repectfully John

Don, as always, thanks for the straight talk and a reply to my question. Your participation here is much appreciated. Stop back often!

He doesn't need to tell us. If it was any of our business, he would have made it a conference call.

The big kahuna even chimed in on the up & up. Much respect. Very pono!

 

[coyotedale]

Here we go again, expert speculation and comentary from the peanut gallery. Having to let anyone go isn't enjoyable, nor is it easy. I don't care if you call them on the phone, or call them in your office. It's one of the toughest experiences for both the employee, and the one signing the paycheck. But to guess the reasons, or opine on how it was handled when you are not involved with the situation, you may as well crowd around a corpse and have a group discussion on how the autopsy will be conducted and what the results will be.

Carry on

Awesome Jay! Reply of the year and it's only January.

I'm sure that Coil would have a different opinion

I believe Coil left for 2 reasons. 1. He wasn't given an executive position at JFR. 2. He didn't want to live in Brownsburg.
