Ha Ha! That is probably the only reason Farrell would take another job. I wouldn't mind John, always thought he did a good job anywhere he worked.

And, mark my words…he would bring new ideas and philosophies to the organization

Completely unacceptable
Anything that veers away from Johnny jackass's ideas would be improvement. Its time for StL to conduct itself like a competent organization.
“Competent organization “?

You are dangerously close to heresy amigo.

I’ve always said a homeless drunk could do a better job.

Or even just a regular drunk!

Yes, stretching it a bit. But the drop off in results and attendance signal problems. Problems fueled by ownership and the front office. Attitude towards fans, poor roster construction, being behind in trends, etc.

I don't know anything about John Farrell but I would point out HOF manager Joe Torre was a broadcaster for the Angels for 5 years after he was fired by Atlanta.

He has won in the playoffs (WS) and he's also been thru successfull worst to first turnarounds
at 63, he's nowhere near too old, and his experience makes his age preferable to anyone under 40.
He's available.

And most importantly, he pitched and coached college ball at my alma mater.
For me, most importantly he has zero ties to this failed system.

Walt Weiss - Braves
Don Mattingly - Blue Jays
Sandy Alomar Jr - Cleveland
Rickie Weeks - Brewers

Pitching Coach

Prior - Dodgers
Chris Hook - Brewers
Kyle Snyder - Rays

Remote possibility of hiring any of the above. BUT decent baseline to start the process.

My biggest concern would be no change.

I also liked the Varitek suggestion. Some of these boys could
use some increased focus, IMO.
