When Robin was hired the opinions flew. I am pretty sure many Sox fans liked it or wanted to see how it would work out, etc.

It was like a draft pick, you cant say for sure if #50 was going to be better or worse than Chandler Jones, but you can have your say.

Now you can come back and say "WTF did they do!"

Of course what Kenny did would be like you picking up the phone one day and hearing Mark Murphy...

MM: "is this Hawger?"
HA: "yes, who is this?"
MM: "I am President of the Green Bay Packers and we would like to know if you would like to be the coach?"
HA: "Can I think about it for a day?"
MM: "Sure, let me give you my number and you can get back to us Monday"

Still think this was "AWESOME?"

I see many Sox fans here are anti Robin.....even though the outrage should go higher than Robin....after all it wasnt Robins idea to manage or even to stay.

Yes, I do.

I believe Counsel has been a part of the front offices...Asst GM for 4 years? He sees the players everyday, scouting, etc. should know the organization inside and out and went into the Brewers right from playing for them....plus grew up as a diehard brewers fan.

I would prefer a guy with managerial time always, but a guy who is intertwined in the daily activity of the team and one last thing....WANTS THE JOB and KNOWS HE IS BEING CONSIDERED....is years ahead of a guy who played for a team 10 years prior and came out to spring training ....
