It may be his most influential personnel decision. If he decides to go in another direction from Marmol, the Cardinals would, likely, draw interest from some outstanding managerial candidates. Could any current managers buy out their contract in order to take the Cardinals job? Also, there may be some current managers become available, shortly, after getting fired. If so, in either scenario, who would you like to have as the manager of the Cardinals?

Just for the board’s amusement….
Can you walk us through why outstanding mangers…even those currently employed….would have interest in a dysfunctional Stl franchise?

BDWJr will make this call, not Bloom.
Bloom gets his manager in 2027.

What's the point of brining in a great manager when they're gonna have like an $80M payroll next year?

Ohhh so you think a manager fired by another team will be better? If he's better why will he be fired? Ohh managers don't buy out their contracts.

At the very least to bring back sound fundamentals and a new culture to a stale and lifeless team that will be filled with young players
Or do you expect these young players to just magically develop under the same manager they haven’t been for 4 years now?

When you say fundamentals do you mean anything other than baserunning? Maybe bunting? Cause they have one of the best defenses in the league.
Winn, Herrera, Donovan, Burleson and Saggese seem to have developed pretty well under Marmol. He doesn't get credit for them but he gets blamed for Gorman, Walker, and Noot?
