Hard day when after all those years you decide to hang it up.

I don't know. I doubt Ausmus would let him go..

it may not have been his decision. Could have come from above.

I don't know many Managers who don't do their own hiring and firing. Nonetheless..

Just a guess on my part but it makes sense to me

Great news

Sure.

I'd blame DD more than Jones when it's about the BP.

 

[kalinecountry]

I am in agreement with the above thoughts of him having an option to retire or get a pink slip.

Goodbye Wimpy....

So, who's gonna be our next pitching coach? Someone in the minors or an outsider?

Watch it be Mike Maroth.

These two were mentioned regularly by many.
Reason I posted about Dubee was it was from the Tigers official site. If it isn't him, I will change the title of the thread.

Mike Maddox just got let go by Texas. Maybe the Tigers should have waited another day. I've always thought he did a great job for Texas

Willingness to embrace analytics made Rich Dubee ?clear? choice as new Tigers pitching coach.

Dubee was not only open to integrating advanced metrics and analytics into his coaching, but was also in lockstep with Ausmus’ system of allowing the catchers to take the lead on preparing the pitching game plan.

I don't like that statement. Period.
