Carson's ratings were beginning to fall a bit and the Tonight Show was showing it's age. Leno had offers to go to other networks and his agent used that leverage to get NBC to expedite Johnny's retirement. I thought everyone knew that.
Carson could have stayed as long as he wanted. It was his choice and his alone to leave. If he wasn't ready, he would have stayed in the limelight.

Leno forced him out and stole the seat from Johnny's preferred successor, letterman. Then Leno forced Conan out under the same type of game plan. Neither letterman nor Conan, nor did Johnny, think much of Leno after he did what he did. Johnny would funnel jokes to letterman after he went to CBS. Again, Leno is an opportunistic über douche.
