- HOW McDermott was fired feels off… but moving on was necessary, if painful. He had led one of the greatest stretches the team had seen… but they hit the playoff wall Terry described… they did - I would have made a clean break with both McD & Beane out together

- However, I’m not upset that Beane is still here to run the hiring process vs hoping Terry did it or hired the right consultant/agency. The risk of ruining this critical last window of Josh’s prime is much too great

I wanted Beane gone as well, but I do think there's an argument that they've been too successful for a completely new start and all that brings. You probably want to keep *some* of what has worked in the front office, at least short term. Beane has to nail it going forward though.

Hearing Terry talk about family issues & not watching his daughter play tennis makes me think he elevated Beane because wants to spend more time away from the team (doesn’t want to talk to HC & GM every day). Also found it interesting Laura Pegula is part of the HC search team.

- I hope they allow Josh to be a part of the process but honestly not that much decision making influence. They need the right coach, not just who Josh likes the most. Someone who evolves the base play calling for a schematic advantage THEN Josh can create as needed
