Good post, Chad. If Bobby wanted his job back today, I’d have the movers coming in to pack up Fredi’s office within minutes.
Delusions of an immediate Coxian restoration aside, the game is definitely better with him in the dugout. I just hope that if that day comes, it’s in our team’s dugout, not the Dodgers or wherever else.
I would hate to see him in Dodger blue.
The Braves would be foolish to not give him his job if he is truly interested in returning.
Definitely rehire Bobby. The collapse would never have happened on his watch.
No question I would love to see Bobby back and get the Bravos back on track. Also I would love to see Ted Turner buy the Braves and put some of that money back into the team
The chances are higher that Bobby would coach again over Ted Turner owning the Braves. Actually, one of the last “gifts” he gave the Braves was a terrible TV deal that will probably crush the franchise in the next 5-10 years. He may be the owner that resurrected the franchise and also killed it.
Ted didn’t negotiate that TV deal, Chad. He’d sold Turner Sports by then, and they did the deal.
Ted didn’t make the deal, his company did. According to Terry McGuirk, the CEO and chairman of the team, Ted’s company was responsible for this deal, . Here is his quote:
“That being said, we inherited a deal that was done under [previous owner Turner Broadcasting/Time Warner] a little over four years ago, before the sale, that lasts out through 25 years. So there is no opportunity for a different deal than the one we have. Every single set of games on the different networks that we are seen on [Fox Sports South, SportSouth and Peachtree TV] are all 25-year deals or thereabouts.”
