Cochran On the Hot Seat
Rumors are flying in Calgary that Terry CochranTerry Cochran could be out as the manager of the Pioneers. Missing the playoffs for the third straight season doesn’t help the resume. It would be shocking if Cochran got the boot given his long career with the club both on and off the field. However, GM Kevin Dickson didn’t sound reassuring that Cochran would be the skipper for 2039, although he did say that he would have a role with the team.
Cochran has been at the helm for 8 seasons, making the playoffs in 4 of them. He has only won more than 90 games twice and has not let the team to a Landis Series. While many of his team records have fallen to Hector Cano or Tony Franco, he is still viewed by the fans as Mr. Calgary. He fell just short of HOF induction and is this another case of good but not good enough?
Cochran’s team had major problems on the pitching side this season. He may be able to save his job by agreeing to bring in a new pitching coach or change out his bench coach. Pitching coach Ralph Desjardins is 65 and may be getting long in the tooth. He has a great relationship with his pitchers, but maybe his strategy is a little dusty. Allen Lemasters has been with the club in some capacity for over 20 years and has been in Calgary for the last 10. He also spent 4 years as bench coach with the club earlier in his career. Will Cochran be open to changes or will his stubbornness cost him his job? Of course maybe Dickson just wasn’t clear enough and this is nothing more than clubhouse gossip.

With all the kids coming up, the answer to Cochrane's future might be related to how well he'll deal with the transition?
On the other had, the title Executive Advisor might work, too.
