you know full well if they end up right around .500 he is getting a 3  year contract or so from the Marlins out of this. 

Which is pretty much what I said a moment ago.

What terrifies me is if the team is still doing well in spite of Don's managerial decisions, they may think "yeah Don is good" and extend him FURTHER.

Yea true but then there's the other side, our side of it... imagine how many more wins we would actually get if we upgraded the manager. It's crazy how "close" this team can be to actually becoming great.

Yes. Except, again, if the team is doing well long term, they'll extend him and we won't get to know!!

Trying to think of cases where teams were already good yet fired the manager knowing they could be better with an upgrade there... anyone?

Cubs, hiring Maddon? Maybe? That 2015 team won 97 games, it was going to be good regardless.

Yea this seems like the best example but actually the Dodgers upgrading from Donnie after multiple playoff appearances seems right too.

Yeah, just read up a little on an article that said they expected Don to be their manager in 2016 but it ended up being a "mutual departure" ... obviously just a little bit before we got him.

Is what it is. Hopefully we have a mutual parting here, too, at some point. lol

I also see that some members have reappeared now that the team is losing lol.

Catch 22. If the Marlins suck, they might start selling off the players that make the team worth watching (Sandy, Pablo, etc.) If they do good we will be stuck with Mattingly.
