As with most things, probably several factors came together to make this happen. It wasn't just that Banner had been a terrible face for the organization over the years and that the Eagles are viewed as arrogant and intransigent because of it. It wasn't just that Roseman's rise made Banner superfluous, or that Smolenski and Roseman were attractive hires had they gone on the open market. And it wasn't that Banner may have tried a pushback within the organization to retain his power and pushed the wrong guy. All of that likely happened to some extent and whatever the percentages were, it finally added up to Banner's being 100 percent gone.
