My understanding from knowing some folks involved with the orchestra is that it might be simply that there was not a good fit for either party.
Consider this: though I'd love to land a major orchestra gig, and though the CSO must eventually have a principal trumpeter...can you think of a *worse* person to follow into a major gig than a person who was there for 50+ years, was an incredible player, and a nice guy to boot? I can't.
[For the record, I'm a tubist, not a trumpeter. :-)]
