Academics realize that when they grant tenure to someone, that person is likely to be their coworker for the next several decades.
This guy may very well be brilliant in his field, but he is clearly not a good fit for the department he was in. Quite frankly, he seems to be abrasive and a bit of a dick. He also seems inexcusably naive about how academia works, considering how long he has been an academic. Why would any rational person in his department guarantee him the job security to stick around for the rest of his career?
Why would anyone want to hire him after the unprofessional and petulant display he just posted on the web?
