A lot of the Hockey/Bandwagon fans loved Gibbons, and Shapiro didn't want to feed the opinion that they were coming to clean-house. Instead, they are gradually doing it. I feel Gibbons, Jacoby, and even Walker are probably gone after this season. Shapiro/Atkins will want saber-metrics influenced coaches in place of all three going forward, because, going from Cleveland, it's their MO and is also how to get the most out of your players. It's proof with the performance of Cleveland, the Dodgers, and the Cubs this season.
