I can't fault him if he wanted to leave, but I also would be surprised to see him "quit". It would reinforce everything he's been criticized for, particularly his mentality, so he will, at least I hope, stay. Sometimes he digs his own grave, but perhaps even that is a product of the unfair and unfortunate circumstances he's had to face.
Not that I pity him or whatever. Meh, take the money and RUN.
