SilverBullet Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Are you serious !? Kinda, yes. This thing is good for Don and an honor but he's not exactly getting better these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I wouldn't hate if we did. Next year is the last year of his deal. I definitely don't see him being here beyond next year, but I could see them letting him finish out his contract next year and bringing in their own new guy for the "good year" 2020. Mike Hill I wouldn't be surprised to see go after the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 I don't think having a lameduck manager in 2019 is a good move for a club that is looking to build into a contender in 2020. It would be better to get the new guy in sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking this all year long but I'm starting to see @SonOfJacks point too and now I'm not so sure that Don is here in 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't necessarily disagree, but it's done often - a guy is kept through the rebuild, and the new "their" guy is brought in when they're expected to be in contention.

I'm glad you and @SonOfJack are married again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That it is - and furthermore, to SOJ's point, I feel it'd be better, personally, if the new manager came in next year, and then the team gets accustomed to him, connection deepens and they have the rapport for the "contending" season, or at least, the hopeful contending season.

SilverBullet Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 There have been plenty of new managers brought in to supposedly contending teams that haven't exactly gelled in their first season so maybe the earlier is better idea isn't a bad one here.
