I've seen many posts throughout the board on this subject. So, with a sweep seeming destined again, i thought i would start a thread on the Cox subject and try to centralize all the opinions i have seen on him.... Do you think he should be back?

	yes
	no
	i don't care!!!!!

	There is absolutely no doubt that Bobby Cox should be back with the Braves in 2009 if he wants to be. When you consider the injuries that this team has had to deal with through the first half of the season, it's really a miracle they are where they are.

	For all his faults, Bobby Cox is the best manager in baseball. Did I say 14 straight division titles? Hate him if you like, you probably hate Santa Claus and the Beatles too, Bobby C. can manage, and manage well. The Braves offense needs to kick it up a notch. Three straight losses at home to the Phils is just heartbreaking. Go Braves 08!! .

	So next year if at the all-star break if you under .500 do you still say keep Cox? Or are you going to say it's all the young players he has?

	I think that maybe it's time for a change. If that means getting rid of Cox than so be it. Anything to change our luck and to help our play on the field. Cox obviously isn't doing something right; I mean we are hitting under .200 with runners in scoring position and you gotta admit that he makes the dumbest decisions alot of time that cost us ball games. I been saying for a while that it's time for a change, and Cox has to go. I know I'm not the only one that thinks this because on the poll 50+% says fire him. C'mon 14 and Bravochick, I know I'm not the only one that thinks it's time for a change.

	BTW, i posted a reply right after i made the poll but the comp messed up or something. Yeah i thinks its time for a change too, JP. But i don't think the Braves should fire him or make him "force to resign". I just hope Bobby doesn't go all crazy and try to stay here until he dies b/c i don't see the Braves organization doing him wrong by firing him, which i completely agree with. With that said, my opinion (and some other people's) of needing change in the coaching staff does not take ANYTHING away from what he has already done. I don't think i can put into words how horrible i feel for thinking we need a new coach. But I just can't get past some of the decisions he has made this year. He IS the best coach Atl has ever seen but in all honesty, i think his time has pasted. I don't want to remember him for what has happened this year and the past few; i want to remember him as the man that help the braves win 14 straight. I just don't want him to tarnish his already existing legacy.
