What gives you the idea that he wouldn't want the job?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
He turned down the Brewers job last year and was rumored to be approached for other opportunities in the past yet nothing came of any of it, so it seems as though he might be waiting for a perfect scenario to jump back into managing. The Cubs are a team in transition, with no clear direction, and it is hard for me to see Brenly jumping into a mess like this. Plus, Brenly has seen how quickly fortunes can turn on a dime here, and it is never pretty. After all, these are the Cubs.

I think he wants the Cubs job. I really believe that the reason he hasn't taken another is that he'll take the "perfect" gig, or the Cub job; which ever is offered to him first. He sees the team everyday, he knows the team and their abilities just as well if not more so than Lou. I tend to think him knowing how things are, and his opinions on what needs to be done, outweighs a scenario where he goes to Baltimore(just an example) in a different league and has to take the time to learn of his teams tendencies and personalities.
That said, I don't know what the reaction of the clubhouse would be. Soriano might not be too happy.

I hate my pretentious sounding username too.
