And then you read each article and there is nothing that backs up the headline.

That is careless for those articles to state that without backing it up. Shame on them for making an assumption a d trying to write it "into fact."
That said, if the team doesn't want that to be the stated reason, they should probably say why the firing happened. Not doing so just allows the media to speculate like this.
