After the stats BT listed, I don't think there should be a camp that wants him canned (even though I was part of that clan).

I still think he should be canned. You have a bunch of teams that were horrible (the vast majority of teams that change managers) with a few who were under performing. What if there were only 10 teams that were favorites to either win or content for their division/league title and 7 teams that turned it around were part of that group? Then you have a 70% chance of turning it around. (Obviously I'm making that up, but the story was used to show that the stat as given is almost irrelevant)

The point is, if a competent replacement is found, would we really be worse off? I don't think so.

Please tell what competant replacement could be found at mid-season. If your answer is Ryno, please explain why he would be a good choice because I'm not sure that he is.
