Tigers Hire Scott Harris as President of Baseball Operations
Motor City Sonics replied to oblong's topic in Detroit Tigers
A town where all the CVS's and Walgreen's didn't shut down? (Joking, just joking, though a lot of them did because the DA said he would turn his back on shoplifting). -

How dare Chris Illitch...........doing this on the day of the Queen's funeral. No respect whatsoever. Couldn't announce tomorrow? Appalling. -

Working for Theo doesn't make him Theo (See: Matt Patricia), but I like the hire. He went outside the organization and grabbed a rising star before someone else did. I'll let you know how I feel about this hire at the end of the 2026 season, I figure that would be a fair amount of time. Well.................We've got four young GMs in town that all had impressive resumes beforehand. They have all done well in their drafts, lets hope Mr. Harris does too. It's not about your first round pick, it's about your first ten rounds. You get 3 guys out of each draft that can make it to the majors (hitting .333), you're doing great. Al seemed to be hitting about .150 there, which equaled Tigers GMs since the early 80s. -
Since I don't believe any of the Monday night Head Coaches are even on a warm seat........ The new rankings. 1 - Frank Reich - Another terrible start. Colts are a good team and they are lucky to only be 1/2 game behind right now, but they have Kansas City next and a big division game vs. Tennessee after that. If they lose both, he could be out. MAY NOT SURVIVE THE SEASON 2. Matt Rhule - Carolina does not seem to be progressing once. I think he's got a little more leash because his QB is new, but just a little more. I think he'll be coaching Auburn next year. MAY NOT SURVIVE THE SEASON 3. Nathaniel Hackett - Yeah, Denver won yesterday, but they are a mess. Russ is 33 and has a shelf life. The Broncos are not going to give a second year to him if he bungles his way through this season. He'll be a one-and-done. PROBABLY SURVIVES THE SEASON 4. Kliff Kingsbury - Arizona got an OT win yesterday and everyone in the West is 1-1 now, so they are starting over. But it's all about the last month. ITS ALL ABOUT DECEMBER 5. Ron Rivera - With a dysfunctional management that has a scandal-ridden front office and a stadium that has raw sewage leak onto fans, it might be a bad look to fire a cancer survivor, but that 2-point decision, down by 8 with all the momentum ranks up there with some really dumb Lions coach decisions (I think of Bobby Ross going for 2, down by 4 late in the game in Arizona.....he should have been fired the next day). Riverboat Ron is in a division that could be won at 9-8 and he kind of broke their backs yesterday. SURVIVES THE SEASON. I don't think anyone else's seat is hot except Arthur Smith (roster is not his fault) and Mike McCarthy (because Sean Payton will be available February 9, 2023)

Dammit............right off the bat giving up big big yards.................

But, I know what you are feeling here.................Because I feel it too...................this sense of it not being close to be over, even with a 3/4 score lead. We've seen too much in this town to relax. I think as long as that crowd stays fully engaged, it should be a big factor here. I can only imagine how loud that place is today. DC has not crossed the 50..............Wow.
