Well that's because you have your facts wrong, per usual. He had a 4 year deal with 2 years left. With only 2 years left in his contract and his opt out clause, he wanted more security than what amounted to 1 year on the hook.
And it was widely reported that Marrone was negotiating extensions for him and his staff. Pegulas were open to extending him, but not the staff. I guess if you're not above disregarding wins, you can just disregard reports that you disagree with. Stay on message, my dude.
