Rick Hahn: simply put hire whoever the hell is gonna win Championships whether they are a previous cheater or not

Hope it doesn’t hurt his power

Also, Steve Stone apparently is a mouth piece for the org.

Thanks to Coop for all that he did. But it was time.

Sox fans: Jerry's stupid loyalty to former players is hurting the team. Also Sox fans: Hire every ex player/coach that has a history with the franchise.

The White Sox make the playoffs for the first time in 12 years, and fire their manager for the first time in 17, and their pitching coach for the first time in longer than that. Who could ever have thought of this being a possibility? This is the same owner than wanted to keep Jim Boylen around. Ozzie didn't get fired. Robin didn't get fired. This is probably one of the most remarkable days in White Sox history.

Easy way to remember to spell...scio..scia. Scioscia. Also, no.

Most fascinating hour of television since Boy Meets World went off the air

I want everyone who is voting "absolute deal breaker. will not follow the team if he is hired" to name themselves in this thread and actually leave the board when he's hired in a couple of weeks. Thanks.

I don't cheer for Dallas either. Fuck em both.

Boo hoo. You don't think anybody deserves a 2nd chance? Should we stray away from any player who has been caught roiding as well? That's a poor way to construct a club. You limit yourself too much. People make mistakes and they learn. You hire Hinch if he is the best candidate out there, no question.

First order of whatever new manager Sox hire should be to demand the reinstatement of the thunderstruck pregame video. This crime against humanity has gone on long enough.

If you're firing Renteria over the bullpen management, Cooper needed to go too.

Following historic trends, I present to you your new White Sox Manager......Gordon Beckham!

Fuck AJ Hinch. He was a laughing stock at Arizona then he gets handed a stacked team with an intricate system of cheating and he's considered a great manager. Get the fuck out of here.

Seems fitting that they are getting rid of the native as soon as they get to the promised land.

Just for future reference, I don’t care about your opinion on anything.

Holy shit, what team is this?

Idiot^

so about this press confeerce

My poll choice isn’t offered but the middle one closest reflects it.

I care but I don't think I care enough for it to bother me if he's the best man for the job, I just want a good manager and for the Sox to win a lot of games.

Just a Hinch...I mean hunch.

You'd think all the people concerned about integrity would have stopped watching before this season considered we signed Dallas Keuchel.

I can't believe you still have hurt feelings over needing to be told that posting the word poop over and over and over and over again isn't something people want to see on a message board.

TREVOR BAUER SIGNING WITH THE SOX CONFIRMED

And how did he hit that well after the injury? Pretty incredible.

Ozzie not a candidate Cooper gone My brother is going to be livid.

Flexor strain. UCL is clean. He’s good!

I said this in the last week of the season...the losing streak at the end of the season was a silver lining. It showed the FO just how bad of a manager Ricky was and we still made the playoffs to get that experience for our young guys. In the long run, it was a blessing in disguise. Now we'll be able to re-do our coaching staff and create a new way of thinking going forward.

Sox are in fuck it mode, love it.

Do it with a big bang bong.....a big bang bong!!!

I never constantly felt the need to defend anyone. He managed game 3 badly and is paying the price. Ricky being fired is fine. He wasn't the reason the sox didn't win, and he did a nice job with the young guys, but the sox didn't think he gave them the best chance to win in the big spot. they would know that better than anyone given that they know the directives he was given. The insinuation that because I hold the players at majority fault 99.9% for failures means I endlessly supported renteria is nonsense. This boards never ending negativity in game threads wasnt rational or reasonable because he got fired. It was still overreactive nonsense where people blamed the manager for damn near 50% of the losses.

I feel legit terrible for Ricky. I wanted him gone but imagine how devastated he must be that this happened again. Two weeks before the season ended, Hahn said Rick deserved to be here enjoying the success. Rick literally lost his job because of the last 13 games of this season. This being said, if you want to be a champion, you cannot have this kind of managing going on. We need to go get a real winner and not some wannabe.

Hell yes!!!!! Ozzie is coming back!!!!!

Also this is a sexy job right now, plenty of guys should be interested.

Christmas in October. It truly is a new era on the southside

I'm expecting a record for most words used to say noting.

If there's one thing in life that's true, it's the fanbase that's never seen their team make back to back playoff appearances in 120 years is insanely spoiled.

Bold Prediction: Don Cooper is retiring and Matt Zaleski is named pitching coach.

Good: Crotchet 100% healthy Ricky is being fired ”Team will be aggressive coming off playoff appearance” Bad: Crotchet needs TJS Ricky is being extended ”Team will need to be conservative in wake of COVID”

Also, because no one has said it: Live by the Cordero, die by the Cordero.

Reading the comments and thinking about this, I think this is right. Why fire a guy making rookie mistakes in the playoffs, only to bring in a person with less experience? You almost have to be looking at a veteran, otherwise, why fire Ricky?

I don't know about Sandy. We NEED a guy that has been there before to be honest. Our talent speaks for itself, so we just need a manager that can relate to our guys and make smart in game decisions.

How is Sandy Alomar an upgrade? Like how do we know that? A few of you have already said that. Why?

As we learned, when Stoney is so critical of your role on the Sox....you gone

He can go make pies for the catering department

- Yermin Mercedes long-term contract

hopefully moving on from cooper and renteria and towards a coaching staff that embraces analytics and new age shit
