The top executive at NBC’s “Today” show who was fired on Monday after just 10 weeks on the job alienated key decision-makers at NBC News by pushing too hard and too quickly for potential changes on the show, especially among the prominent, on-air names, according to senior executives with knowledge of his departure.
