Ned is not the right manager to get this team to the next level, pure and simple. His decisions have cost this team dearly on a number of occasions throughout the year. Ned seems to be a decent guy, maybe a bie egotistical, he'd make a heck of a bench coach. Regardless, Ned will most likely not be retiined and Jenkins needs to go right with him. The team needs an ass kicker, one that will step up to the pressure game in and game out. Girardi wouldn't be bad but he has no experience managing a winner. Dusty would be worse. LaRussa and Jockety are a package deal. Perhaps a guy like Larry Bowa or Bobby Valentine?
