Fire Matt Williams! (2015) - Standard Decision.

[Ray D]

You know people bash Gibbs II,

Not me.  Look at all the coaches since Gibbs I.  Turner, Marty, Ball Coach, Gibbs II, Zorn, Shanahan, and the current goofball.  Cleary, Gibbs II was the most successful of the bunch. (Though I think that if they hadn't pushed Marty out, he would have won three or four superbowls).

Bring Back Bo

Bo's didn't know how get it done in Houston. What was the problem there?

[whytev]

I was happy with the management today.

I've come to think that if the Nats don't make the playoffs this year then Matt gets the door.

The management was not bad (I didn't see the whole game) today.    But man, some of the players let down in critical situations.   

[GburgNatsFan]

Yep.

BIL - you can take that bet to Las Vegas

Basic question: How long is Matt's contract?

"The Nats picked up Matt Williams' 2016 contract option, rewarding their 49-year-old skipper for the job he did in his first season at the helm."

So he is not signed for next year?

I think it's through the '16 season.

[Mr Clean]

I think it's through the '16 season.

Oh crap I thought for a second this was '16.
Wishful thinking I guess. I would bet now he won't be fired regardless.

I dont know about that.  Missing the playoffs would be a huge let down, even for the cheap ass Lerners

He's not getting fired...at least not until October, 2016...

The Lerner's have been saying that this was the year. Teddy doesn't have many more left. If it doesn't happen this year, I could see the Lerners calling that shot. I've also found it interesting that both Dombrowski and Lucchino have been connected to the Nats in recent days.

I can't find the Dombrowski nugget at the moment, but it was similar to this one.

It might just be idle speculation, but I found it interesting.

[DPMOmaha]

That's not where I found it, but yeah, basically that.

[Kevrock]

Dombrowski should land at any team other than the Nats so we can continue to fleece him.

[Kevrock]

Dombrowski and Lucchino coming in over Rizzo, GTFO.

[UMDNats]

Dombrowski and Rizzo can team up and continue to do everything except build a bullpen.
