They wouldn't be firing him because of this season it would be because of a 2 trips to the playoffs in ELEVEN seasons which is pathetic in the Wild Card/Expanded playoffs era.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Mon Aug 17, 2026 5:21 amIm not firing him because of a disapointing season. I dont want to be that reactive about it. This stuff really comes down to communication, most business situations do. Dipotos job isnt choosing talent, its enabling communication. He has a staff to handle talent. The question is how well is that functioning? Theres seems to be a lot of evidence of it working pretty well actually. I think theres probably teams out there envious with how dipoto has things running. But i dont know, maybe theres friction behind it. Maybe the communication is an issue. But saying, this team sucks. Lets fire dipoto and see if some other guy can do better at it isnt a plan to me.AT Fresno wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2026 7:54 pmSo.....what's your evaluation of the entire situation?Donn Beach wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2026 7:46 pmIm not looking to fire Dipoto. Its not the same thing as firing a manager or trading a player. Its more about tossing everything out and starting over. You need to take stock of the entire situation
That being said, i dont particully like the guy. And i wouldnt shed tears over his getting fired. Hes been at it a really long time, theres that too.
And why in the F would they toss everything out??? They keep all the good players and prospects and coaches and toss the rest out. Pretty simple...This isn't College football. They don't have to worry about guys hitting the transfer Portal. And I am willing to be most of the players would do a Munchkins in the Wizard of Oz type celebration when they found out the Wicked Witch was dead when he finally gets canned.
