November 2, 20187 yr At the end of the season, there was a general consensus at least here on SoxTalk that at the very least both the manager and the hitting coach had to go. Its been over a month since then and there have been no coaching changes. Does this mean that the Sox intend to go into the new season with the same failed coaching staff as last season?

November 2, 20187 yr i feel like this exact topic has been discussed ad nauseum. Something about falling on a sword
November 2, 20187 yr Ah, it seems “So is no one falling on the sword for 2018?” has fallen off the first page.

November 2, 20187 yr I will say for how each player performed, and with many, how they were supposed to perform or improve, it is hard to imagine how everyone did a satisfactory job. I get they are in the middle of a rebuild, but there has to be some sense of urgency. Another sideways year of developing in 2019 could bring this entire rebuild down. To not have the best you can have in place to hopefully help them get better would be a mistake. Edited November 2, 20187 yr by Dick Allen

November 5, 20187 yr Maybe this was talked about in the other thread... but isn't falling on your sword something you do to yourself? Like taking the blame so nobody else has to rather than blamed by somebody else? So the title of that thread would indicate somebody firing themselves...
