What's your guess on timetable when Bloom makes announcement regarding Oli

Post by ramfandan »

.. on his returning for the 2026 season (which he is under contract ) or dismissing him .
Some teams have made announcements on 'returning' with a week to go in season to stop rumors that would happen after the final game
Others have announced dismissals immediately after season concludes .

Whether Oli returns or dismissed , what's your guesstimate as to the timing of announcement ?

My guess is they will do a press conference right after the season officially handing it off to Bloom where they will announce only minor changes to Oli’s staff but that Oli is returning.

What 'minor' changes are you expecting ? Base coaches (Pops ? Stubby ?) , Descalso, Jay, Blake, Brown ?

Hoo boy, I hope not! I’m hoping that Bloom announces that Oli has been released from his contract, or has been moved to another position in the organization.

We need a clean sweep of this team, much like Whitey Herzog did when he came here in 1980.

I believe Marmol will be dismissed within two weeks of the seasons' end. His firing should happen immediately, but since Mo is officially still the POBO, it will be delayed until the Bloom era begins.

Not thinking the base coaches will be moved out. More that they will create new roles we never heard of in the coordinator area.

Within a week of the season ending. He already knows his game plan and just needs to green light from Dewitt to quickly move on from this trainwreck.

Bloom will be looking at who is best equipped to IMPLEMENT the decisions made by the collaborative management team. He’s not looking to hire Yadi, Albert, or any other CT fantasy. He’s not looking to hire a manager in the mold of Whitey or TLR. Those days are long gone. Bloom could very well decide that Oli is the guy to oversee the transition/rebuild, but not the guy to take the next step. My guess, most of you stand a 50/50 of being very upset.

The Marmot is a dead squirrel walking.
Bloom will dispatch him to hibernation very quickly once the season ends and winter approaches.
Bloom will want to turn the page as quickly as possible.

Agreed.

Only a complete idiot would hire Molina or Pujols to manage the team in 2026.
There could not possibly be 2 worse choices.
Bloom may or may not prove to be an effective leader - but there is no way he would be that stupid in acting against his own best interests.
