He'll probably stick around as long as DanO does. That said, hopefully DanO gets shown the door real soon.Originally Posted by LexingtonRedsFan

Scott Elarton was on his way toward being an impact starter before he blew out his arm. Ditto Carlos Hernandez, who messed up his shoulder sliding into second base.
He also presided over the best years of Mike Hampton, Jose Lima, Shane Reynolds, Daryl Kile and Billy Wagner.
Ya the guy i really wanted fired was Obrien.
Sounds promising, here's hoping he can turn the Reds around...Originally Posted by Crash Davis
Personally I'm more excited about Ruhle taking over for Gullett than I am the Narron/Miley swap.
Jim Coombs is the man for both jobs. He could be the entire Cincinnati Reds - the only player and the only coach - kind of like Bugs Bunny.
bottom line....this move says, get ready for football season.
Same here. Narron is likely to have little impact. Ruhle has the potential to have a real positive impact. We'll see.Originally Posted by RedsFan75
We should Hire Ryan Wagners Pitching coach to replace rhule as the organizational pitching instructor. Wagner had spent the off season with him and had gotten his mechanics back. Then he lost it again. Maybe his college coach can help again.
FWIW, Narron had some really bad pitching in Texas as well

My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
I think Narron's a better choice than Miley.....miley just was too laid back
Narron had some success as manager in Tejas.... I hope Narron can construct a flippin lineup.
The Reds wouldn't get a good GM now during the season. Want Kulman again as a Interim GM? I don't! He would be worse than O'Brien. To get a good GM, you must find one during the off season and start completely fresh.Originally Posted by BRM
There isn't a manager alive that could win with the Reds current pitching. I just want to see if Narron has a clue, we will get an idea to see if the lineup is constructed any different this evening.Originally Posted by smith288

I think O'Brien will be gone. Naron won't change a thing. This team is in the tank and will stay there. They are a bunch of spoiled brats. This team and organization needs a major over haul. It can't be all done in season. Some major changes like a new GM can't be done until the off season. I think that they will hire a ''name'' manager like Lou to keep the fans interested and happy.Originally Posted by Redny
