Just saw Buster Olney on ESPN saying that Ozzie had more fault in this season than some have given him and he's not the right man for the job and that he should go. His article about it is on ESPN but it's insider only. Here's the blurb.

"Ozzie Guillen was supposed to be a draw, but there's a possibility that he's had the opposite effect in Miami, and that's aside from the losing. Buster assesses with the Marlins are committed to their bombastic manager."

 

I thought he handled Bell terribly, and he puts too much emphasis on speed and stealing, but maybe he forced the issue so much because we weren't hitting.

 

Thoughts?

Healthy Morrison and Stanton, career average Buck, Hanley and Gaby and we are not having this conversation.

I heard Olney on Mike and Mike, he was attributing most of the talk of dismissal due to an interview with Samson.

I write this season off and feel he deserves to be at the helm next year, but who knows with Loria.

This team was built to be about speed and steals. Too bad they just flat out suck even with all that speed.

I really don't think he's a good fit for us, but I don't think he can be blamed for even half of what happened this season.

Healthy Morrison and Stanton, career average Buck, Hanley and Gaby and we are not having this conversation.

 

 

Heath Bell.

I was impressive and shocked about Heath Bell' situation.

 

Since Ozzie gave up Bell's belief, Ozzie has never give a chance to close the game, drastically.

 

The comment about Castro was already happened during he was a manager of White Sox.

So, I thought these were whole entire organization's problem.

The way he handled the Heath Bell situation was not "impressive" at all.

Just in case... since Beinfest has a thread

Marlins Might Dismiss Ozzie Guillen

 

By Ben Nicholson-Smith [september 21, 2012 at 4:00pm CST]

Ozzie Guillen could lose his job after a disappointing debut season in Miami. The Marlins are thinking about firing Guillen and have contacted at least one potential replacement, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports.

The Marlins plan to fire president of baseball operations Admin Beinfest and replace him with assistant GM and VP of player personnel Dan Jennings, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported yesterday. However, Rosenthal reports that Miami is more likely to dismiss Guillen than re-structure its front office. The Marlins haven’t made a definitive decision regarding Guillen, Rosenthal writes. Owner Jeffrey Loria will make the final call.

The Marlins would likely hire a low-priced alternative if they dismiss Guillen, according to Rosenthal. Former Marlins third baseman Mike Lowell has been discussed as a replacement, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reported yesterday. Nationals third base coach Bo Porter and Padres special assistant Brad Ausmus are alternate candidates, Rosenthal adds.

Firing him will definitely bolster the image of the franchise!

2013: The Year We Get A New Identity... (AGAIN!)

Ozzie deserves another chance

Mike Lowell? Wow, don't know what to make of that.

Pretty big LOL if they traded players to get Ozzie and fire him after one season.

 

Should have hired Buck Showalter!

This will not be good PR for the team...at all

This will not be good PR for the team...at all

 

 

Depends .. all the annoyed Cubans in the fan base might hop back on board the bandwagon again if Ozzie goes

This will not be good PR for the team...at all

 

 

Yeah, all the people who don't go to the games still won't go to the games.

Fire him! Let's bring Lowell in!

Bo Porter. I swear he's up for every managerial job.

This would be the worst thing to happen in Marlins history!

 

Lowell?? Are you kidding me?? Sure maybe as a hitting coach, but manager?? Joke!

Why not Zoidberg?

I would love to have Lowell replace Perez as hitting coach.

ZOIDBERG FOR EVERYTHING!!!

Guillen going to be fire after only one season he suppose gave miami marlins life that fail this team still remind me of old team florida marlins new name didnt gave us life or new manger and all new player this fail season
