thedoctor Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 i think i've reached the conclusion that i can live with just about any candidate as long as they are from outside of the org and haven't been a part of the way the sox have done things in recent history. sad thing is, i also have a very, very hard time seeing them make that kind of hire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t want to be boo’d or have to answer any questions. Pathetic honestly. This organization can’t get out of its own way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leads me to believe that they don’t know what the f*** they are doing. Edited October 24, 2022 by maloney.adam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be painfully obvious that they interviewed the popular candidates and couldn't find anyone that they believed could coexist with their circus. I assumed Ron Wash was gaining traction because he is smart enough to know the situation and tell Jerry what he wants to hear in exchange for 5 or 6 million dollars. But If they have to resort to Getz to make sure their mess doesn't get blown up in April and outed in the media then we've definitely reached peak shitshow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Hiring Chris Getz for manager would be the equivalent of flipping the bird to the fan base. Robin Ventura 2.0. So much for the rebuild and the competitive window. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Hahn's one and only criteria is he wants a manager he can control. I'm not sure Getz would be that guy but he may be the closest he can get.

GREEDY Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 If Getz is given the job it will be spun that he is special and we were going to lose him to another organization. Under normal circumstances, having a yes man, who is bright and well liked seems like a decent option. This idea that you need a grizzled veteran coach that will essentially fight the front office and ownership doesn't sound like a winning strategy. Why not have everyone on the same page? But obviously, this is not normal circumstances and we are done with Jerry and the front office so literally the last thing we need is a yes man. Terrible.
