SoxFanForever Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I thought candidates weren't supposed to be talking about their interviews? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHarris1 Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I don't know much about Backman. Can somebody that does tell me if he would make a good manager? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I don't know much about Backman. Can somebody that does tell me if he would make a good manager? He would make a good manager....he was named the best managerial candiate in his league(I believe the Southern league is its name), and he took a Birmingham team to the playoffs two straight years, last year, when he won it, and this year(not sure the result....they did make it this year, didn't they), and though I'm not sure how it turned out, I know they had very, very little offense on the team. They did have Neal Cotts and Enemencio Pacheco, who were lights out this year. He won't get it though....in fact, he is probably going to be coaching in a different organization next year, and he can thank only himself for that one.

aboz56 Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Backman's chances at getting the job, slim and none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 The problem is nothing is supposed to be said. for the past few seasons a candidate saying "I was interviewed" or even "I want the job" is no thing at all - this is hardly the first time an interviewee has said what Backman has said but I suspect strongly now that is chances are nil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 His chances were slim to nil when that article in BA came out. I think we will end up with Ozzie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Fainter Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Is Willie randolph out of the equation? I haven't heard his name lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 OZZIE! OZZIE! OZZIE! I wish I shared your celebratory tone for a managerial candidate that, at one time, pretty much said f*** the fans. Ozzie would fit in this Organization though..... relatively cheap with no managerial experience where he can hone his managerial chops with the White Sox .
