It seems that conspiracy theories, rumor and innuendos are starting to 
run amuck. The training squad selection is the most important milestone 
in the process. You would no more remove the Chef d'Equipe right before 
the selection was made than you would remove a project manager from a 
project right before a big review. If it had to be done it should be 
done at a time to minimize the risk of any negative after effects.

It is not uncommon for project managers to be removed from their 
position during a project. Many times - in fact in my experience most of 
the time - it's for reasons other than competence in carrying out the 
duties. Many times it is no more than personality conflicts and are 
differences of opinions of how to proceed between the manager and 
boss(es) - and after all the  boss is the boss

Bottom line is we don't know what happened. If this was done in a 
professional manner by professionals - we may never know because at the 
end of the day it is be none of our business why the move was made. 
Confidentially in personnel issues is also mandated in most states by 
law. The USEF made the call - probably a very tough call - and it is 
time for them to move forward. My only comment, however, is this whole 
process has been fairly clumsy.
