Drayer was on the Radio this morning and basically said without saying it that Jerry is the reason why nobody with a decent resume wants this job.
She pointed out were that Jerry is on thin ice himself so if the new manager comes in and doesn't win right away they are both likely going to be on a short leash. Secondly, Jerry has dictated that the whole pitching staff side of the organization stays, so the new manager wont have autonomy over his assistant coach choices. She also seemed to insinuate that Jerry has a bit of a reputation for meddling that is turning people off.

Dates back to early biblical rituals
• The Yom Kippur Ritual: The High Priest chose two goats by lot. One goat was sacrificed as an offering to God, while the second goat was designated for Azazel.

• Transferring Sins: The priest laid his hands on the second goat to symbolically transfer the sins and guilt of the Israelite community onto it.

• Entering the Wilderness: This second goat was then led away into the desert or pushed off a cliff to symbolically carry the community's sins away.

• Coining the Word: The English word was coined in 1530 by Protestant translator William Tyndale while translating the Hebrew Bible. He mistranslated or reinterpreted the Hebrew term Azazel as 'ez ozel ("goat that departs" or an "escape goat"), which was later shortened to "scapegoat
Sacrificing things is beyond. Why would you throw a perfectly good virgin into a Volcano?
It's a way for the clerical class of a society to maintain power.

That's a similar problem to what the Kraken had, a GM (Francis) who didn't know what the hell he was doing, kept screwing everything up and then firing the coaches, the refusal to fire the assistant coaches during their latest coach search and ending up having to settle on Lane Lambert who looks like a hobo that just drunkenly staggered into the Kraken players' area...although the team is doing well so maybe if the Mariners hire someone who looks like a hobo the team's fortunes will improve. like Alex Avila https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/alex ...
