Right. They were just keeping Manny around the entire time Mario was deliberating because they thought it would be funny.

There is zero evidence that they were planning on hiring anyone else if Mario turned them down. It was literally Mario or bust.

He wasn’t fired and was literally still out recruiting until Mario accepted the job. Do you have evidence to the contrary?

I thought Gattis was already gone?

This. They were fully prepared to take their ball and go home if Mario turned us down. Another season of Manny was plan B.

Well said. It's not going to get any better if he hires Arroyo.

Someone on TOS said his source confirmed it's Arroyo. I'm certainly hoping he's wrong but it's not far fetched. He's available and they worked together in the past. It would also potentially explain why there's no sense of urgency to get rid of Gattis. No one is tripping over themselves to hire...

I don't know what you mean by "you guys" but all we have to go on at this point is "insider" info and message board conjecture. Hopefully this particular insider is proven wrong at the end of the day.

Nice of the local press to finally start reporting on the situation. Would be neat if they actually asked Mario if Gattis is returning.

Careful what you wish for. If the rumors that Arroyo is lined up to be our next OC are true, it's going to be a short lived celebration.

If it’s Arroyo you’re **** right. We will and should be disappointed.

This. I would almost rather keep Gattis than replace him with Arroyo. At least with Gattis we know we’d only be stuck with him for one more season. With Arroyo we would probably see modest improvement (because it would be almost impossible to be worse than Gattis) which means we would be stuck...

So is today the day?

It’s very complicated but things are trending in our direction. Trust the process.

There’s an issue with the new OC’s transcripts that is holding up the announcement. Trust the process.

:LOL: Honestly, for me it's not about being right or wrong or trying to play both sides. I'm not going to gloat or call anyone out. I genuinely do not know what to believe at this point because the situation is so weird to me. I still feel like he'll be gone given the complete ineptitude of our...

Not to mention, some of the same insiders said Cormani was still coming here and that the delay was related to transcripts and/or sabotage from his old high school. I'm still hoping that Gattis is on his way out the door but I'm basically Steve Austin at this point: Don't Trust Anyone.

We went 24 quarters (and 10 in a row) without scoring. That's a special kind of ineptitude.

What if Ponce left because he can’t stand working with Gattis?
