Panthers notified Griffin on Monday that his services would not be required beyond the end of this season despite being contracted until the end of 2020.
Griffin thus left the organisation, leaving assistant coach Cameron Ciraldo in the top job for whatever remains of the season.
It's comprehended Penrith have settled on the choice to go separate ways with Griffin as a result of a belief he would have been not able take the club to the level required to win a prevalence. At last, it was the consistent hypothesis about his future that realized his end.
With each gossip, Griffin pushed individuals away. With each story, he appointed less and less to those he was intended to trust.
It's the fundamental motivation behind why Luke Phillips left the training staff mid-season to join the Dragons. It's additionally the reason the players' sentiment of him reduced with every week.
Lamentably, Griffin's state of mind and absence of trust for people around him cost him his activity, with the board becoming burnt out on unremarkable exhibitions from a football group overflowing with ability.
Don't imagine it any other way, the Panthers pecking order know the club is in a prevalence window. Those windows are open for a long time. Three, in case you're fortunate.
While Griffin was contracted until 2020, it turned out to be certain that window would close far sooner in the event that they didn't roll out improvements.
Griffin has extraordinary compared to other winning rates of the present mentors in the NRL, anyway the Panthers are no outsiders to settling on extreme choices.
After Sunday's dug out from a deficit win against the Canberra Raiders, the board let their dissatisfactions be known. They reached general administrator Phil Gould and conveyed a conclusion to Griffin's residency at the foot of the mountains.
Gould met with Griffin on Monday evening, educating him there was never again bolster for him to mentor the club in 2019.
Thusly, Griffin spared himself and the club from a following carnival and left instantly.
All things considered, it looked two dig out from a deficit wins against Manly and Canberra in the previous two weeks may have spared Griffin's activity.
Rather, it was a capital punishment. To those at the club, there was a conviction the moderate begins were a consequence of the training methodologies set up, and their second-half resurgence was in actuality an aftereffect of tossing the course of action out the window.
The other point worth making is the eventual fate of halfback Nathan Cleary. In just shy of three months it is normal the Wests Tigers will make him an offer too great to can't.
A chance to win super dollars playing under his dad Ivan. Presently Penrith have their very own negotiating concession.
Ciraldo and Cleary are amazingly close, so too is Cleary's association with his Panthers partners.
Maybe a more joyful condition with a reasonable picture encompassing the club's future may lure Cleary to stay at the club past 2019.
Griffin, who assumed control in dubious conditions when Gould punted Ivan Cleary toward the finish of 2015, still had two years running on his agreement.
It's comprehended the Panthers won't need to pay out the last two long periods of Anthony Griffin's agreement and have achieved a concurred pay-out.
Pumas aggregate CEO Brian Fletcher issued an announcement over Griffin's exit.
"There has been much theory and gossipy tidbits about the club and head mentor Anthony Griffin throughout the most recent couple of weeks," Fletcher said.
"After dialogs with Anthony Griffin the time has come to end that hypothesis. By common assention, the club and Anthony have consented to go separate ways, from this point forward.
"Anthony withdraws the club after much achievement, having taken the Panthers to the finals over the most recent two years and leaves the club on track for another finals appearance in 2018.
"We might want to express gratitude toward Anthony for his administration to Panthers and wish him well for what's to come."
