Why did he leave Tampa Bay? I stopped paying close attention somewhat after he left Seattle.

I believe it was because the front office and management didnt seem to be on the same page as Pinella was, if I remember correctly, Lou wanted to win, and managment didnt seem to want the same, they didnt want to put together a contender, Lou wanted to win now, the rest of managment wanted to win five or so years down the road, and I believe Lou bad mouthed the Devil Rays organization and I think they bought out the remaining year(s) of his contract.
