Hawk was an egomaniac and narcissist. How could a person come back to work for a team after destroying an organization. In the early 80's the depth of baseball knowledge in that organization was absolutely insane. Hawk blew that up and yet JR hired him back.
That being said he was a great announcer up until the final few years.
I was at a fundraiser where he was last year and he did not seem very healthy or coherent. He was not broadcasting at the end like Vin Scully and his time had come.
My guess is he was pushed out by Brooks. JR and Hawk seemed to be pals from way back and now Hawk is pinning his ending on Brooks and it's warping his view of the organization.
Hawk and AJ are very tight. If Hawk's beliefs were grounded in rationale thoughts, I am not certain AJ would still as involved with the White Sox. Pretty sure AJ replaces Stone when the time comes.
When it comes to the White Sox and JR and KW, there seems to be void at the top similar to the Bears until recently.
