When was the last time we fired a BB coach for on field performance?.....

[thekimmer]

Jimmy Bragan in 75?

 

[TXDawg.sixpack]

Polk 2.0 or am I misremembering?

 

[thekimmer]

He retired and still felt like he was enough in charge to name his own replacement.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Bragan resigned to be coach for his teammate Alex Grammas at Milwaukee.

 

[Drebin]

He retired and still felt like he was enough in charge to name his own replacement.

He was forced to retire.

Still technically not a firing. It also is interesting that as best I can tell we have never fired a baseball coach for on-field performance in 145 years. That is either a testament to our success or indifference about baseball. On the other hand, we have fired more football coaches than Carter has little liver pills.

 

[Dawgg]

He was forced to retire.

So, like the Stansbury retirement?

Perhaps, but then stans has continued coaching at the college level. Polk never took another paying gig.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

He was forced to retire.

He was told that he was retiring just like Stansbury
