Laziness and team cancers would not have been tolerated in the clubhouse.
This exact same regime, which is completely responsible for the flaming dumpster of shit we're seeing right now, fired him 12 years ago. Then he went to Florida and crashed out of there. He has not been in baseball since. Why would you rehire LaRussa only to let him leave and then rehire Ozzie Guillen two years later thinking this is a solution? It's the same principle. The answer isn't to keep rehiring managers who already been employed here. It's a franchise mired in failure for over a century. Flush the damned toilet of your entire past and let it go to the sewer for good and all.
To suggest rehiring Ozzie and be serious about it is a perfect reflection of how this isn't a serious franchise and how they have completely caused much of their own fan base complete frustration or abnormal slowness of rational thought. Quite frankly, does Ozzie even want to work for these assholes again? He's been there done that already.
Nobody gives a fuck when the chairman has had the same front office for the last two decades. The players see this and realize that what they do doesn't matter. The issues are systemic beginning with Jerry, Kenny and Rick. What is Pedro Grifol supposed to do with a team full of goofs when his superiors are a front office full of goofs? You can't cure a systemic issue by continuing to bring people into the organization who have already been there and have failed. Jerry would have to either A) sell the team or B) get rid of Kenny and Rick. He's not doing either of those things.
Now would an organization that's not serious do an unserious thing and hire Ozzie Guillen? Probably. There would be some pockets of people who would love it and buy tickets. Then, guess what happens next? The same damn thing we've been seeing happen over and over again. Failure.
