Chisoxfn, your speculation sounds very plausable and I get the same feeling. If Kenny can plant the seed thathe has been considering a status change, tie it in with a conveniently leaked family crisis, and then step down 'on his own' a few days from now, he saves face in his opinion. Just as he has been accused of taking the credit for thinking up 'ideas' that are actually other people's suggestion, this way kenny can take credit for the idea of firing himself! Curiouser and curiouser...
