I don't know how any council could have any confidence in anything he did. Considering what he did to the mayor he could do to any of them and try to pit one against another.

But I can't imagine any other city hiring him either. Would you hire someone who did what he did? City managers work for the council and are supposed to execute policy and make recommendations about policy, not get involved in the politics.
