Not sure about the thread title, but I do wonder if Beane and McDermott are a packaged deal in the eyes of the Pegulas? Also, do Beane and McDermott feel they are a packaged deal? Does Beane have the authority to fire McDermott or do both of them report directly to the Pegulas? If the Pegulas fired McDermott, would Beane stay on? If the Pegulas fired Beane, would McDermott stay on? It's at least an interesting topic to discuss by the OP.
