Definitely. And I should have said “truth bombs,” he obviously wasn’t trying to slander dude.

There was a lot to it, and seemed like there might be some other details he couldn’t get to for various reasons, but I think the gist of it is that McCray really wasn’t qualified for the job. His knowledge of MMA wasn’t up to snuff and he didn’t have the time or motivation to really fulfill the roles of the executive editor position. He gave some examples of McCray not knowing who Josh Thomson was and asking TJ on air if Kimbo was EliteXC’s heavyweight champ. And if he’s getting that stuff wrong, he obviously lacks a significant amount of international MMA knowledge required for the job. There were also issues with his actual abilities as an editor, which apparently were poor.

Breen said Sherwood didn’t want to talk about it because McCray specifically asked him not to, so as not to hinder his chances of getting jobs elsewhere (be it in the MMA community or not). So, the fact that McCray leaked what appears to be false information about his release is disconcerting.

Apparently Sherdog’s parent company aren’t super MMA savvy, so that was part of the problem with why he was hired (Breen also notes that the parent company is great, they just aren’t an MMA company).

Important to note that Breen thought McCray was a good guy and they got along on a personal level.
