Yeah like I said I don't want to read too much into it. But at the same time, let's not act like every thing has been perfect in this locker room and building.
They just fired a coached mid training camp, that doesn't happen if everything is ok.
Don't get me wrong, I think the firing of Sam Mills is a good news given the apparent disconnect with the players, but the timing screams "something happened".
Another thing that happened was the Head Coach fining his Coordinator 100k because the later couldn't stay off twitter to save his life.

I'd invite you to listen to the press conf, available on Galdi's pod , maybe it's just JDR playing it tough and quiet in his first presss conf since the fine, but some parts of it, wether it be choice of words or tone, made me feel like there may be something to keep an eye on, especially in a season where it's not crazy to think JDR is in the hot seat.

If you had a boss who claimed to be your friend and then he fined you $100,000 for something you posted online, how would you feel about him? Their parting of the ways seems to be just about inevitable.

To be fair it's not that simple, Jack also made some comments about the issue in a press conf (infamous "dust up" comments), and it became a national thing with a lot of reactions, and as Ron said, it impacted the organisation, so something had to be done. I think Jack's comments were pretty stupid, considering he's the DC of an NFL team. But it's still fair to question the impact it had on their relationship, and where their relationship was in the first place.

Yes, but did it need to be a $100,000 fine?

Honestly? I have no clue. We'd have to compare with other fines in comparable situations.
My only thought is what it says about, and how it impacts, their relationship. Maybe not much, maybe a lot. Maybe they have a great season, which helps all parties move on, maybe the defense struggles again and Ron has had enough. Wait and see but keep and eye on it is my overall point.
