    If we fire Dave Roberts, and eat his 3 year extension, what options are we looking at?

    Joe Maddon
    Gabe Kapler
    Brad Ausmus
    Tim Wallach
    Bob Geren
    Scott Hennessey (AA Coach)
    Chase Utley (maybe?)
    Greg Maddux(maybe?)
    Tommy Lasorda
    Yasiel Puig
    Andrew Friedman's cat

    Additions:
    Kevin Kennedy
    Grady Little
    Danny Glover
    Morris Buttermaker (fictional)

    What are the realistic options?

    In all seriousness...

    I like Utley but I do not know if he's in a stage of his life where he wants to be a manager.

    Maddon sucks.

    I used to be a legit supporter of Kevin Kennedy, but he's been out of the game for too long and is too anti-SABER for my taste. Still think he's a great broadcaster though.

    I'll have to think on this one!

    Tony Danza: "Hey, Coach, when are you taking me off the injured list?"
    Coach Knox: "How does never sound?"

    That's the kid of coach we need with Kershaw, Kelly, Pollock, etc.

    Girardi would probably be my top choice.

    Utley if he’s willing to do it would be 1A/1B

    We actually need to fire the FO as well, if we could.

    I actually meant to put him atop the original list. Good call.

    I’m under the impression he’s burnt out and will take at least a year off. But added him to the list.

    Still in the LAD FO I believe, been a candidate for other jobs and had those interviews.
    Ibanez is a quality guy by all accounts

    Is it possible to have a guy like Zack Greinke as player/coach? He’d have the balls to bench Corey Seager in the playoffs.

    Players would hate him, I think he's incapable of being an effective authority figure because his _____ (I hesitate to say mental illness) manifests as antisocial and dismissive.

    Love Zack
    But he'd be best as a guy who sits in the back of the conference room and gives his unfiltered 2 cents once in a while
