The Giants are a clown show. 

All season: Farhan and Gabe are returning

Tuesday: Logan Webb calls out the team culture

Thursday: Farhan goes on radio and backs down from his "Gabe is returning mantra"

Friday: Gabe is fired, Farhan makes comments that make clear it wasn't his idea to fire Gabe while claiming it was his decision, and then he says he needs to be open to different ideas.

As far as we know: Let's leave the guy in charge of all baseball decisions who brought us here.

Now let's bring in a manager who is on a short leash, because the guy who hires him can easily be removed next year, and be replaced by someone who won't have any allegiance to the guy???

Let's be clear, it's not just the issue of maybe being employed a year for potential manager candidates, it's that you have to uproot and move your family and home too. These decisions aren't made with one year horizons in mind.

The Giants are toxic to free agents right now. They are not exactly a well-oiled machine, and everything about them is mediocre.  They are a middling team by every meaningful measure, including into the farm system.

I've asked this before, I'll ask it again. What example is there of a coach/manager/GM getting a "vote of confidence" after having a poor record of performance that required such a statement, and then a turnaround happening? The only example I can think of is Brian Kelly at Notre Dame. Every other coach or GM who has ever been in the position Farhan finds himself in, has ultimately been replaced in short order because they never improved their performance.

The Giants don't know who they are or what they want to be. At least if you were all-in on Farhan, fans could disagree with and not like him or Gabe, but at least you know who is in charge, the Giants are hell bent on winning based on marginal matchup percentages, and he's being given autonomy to do what he wants so he can be fairly judged. Keeping someone in their job with higher ups telling them to do it differently, is just executive incompetence of the highest order. No well run organization does this. 

I've asked this about Stanford. Who the F is in charge?  The Giants' 30 owners are like Stanford's 30 Board members. It's just a totally incompetent and terrible organization decision making structure. No wonder they are both now flailing.
