Along these lines, it is laughable these guys thought they could get a shot at Cora when the Red Sox were willing to go 3 years for him. Gardy also wasn't sticking around (thankfully).
I could see Brad Mills being interested. More or less botched his first job in Houston, so I'm not sure when he gets his next shot. I don't see him waiting out Francona since they are peers.
Ron Gardenhire is probably who they should have hired but even he knew taking over the dumpster fire in Detroit was a better gig than getting dicked around by the Lerners. Again, the only person willing to take on this job is someone with nothing to lose that just wants one last paycheck. The Bud Black fiasco is going to make anyone with options give a hard pass.
