I don't see a magical small ass chance either way at this point.
Perhaps had we been able to get one of them in the offseason, but honestly Matheny would've just made him miserable and run him off either way.
No, unless you have a time machine that can take us back to 2014 and we can do what we should've done (and what the Cubs had the stones to do) and fire Matheny to bring on Maddon, there's no way we could've pulled it off.
I'd convinced myself that some fresh faces and winning games could get that miserable despot to be less of a buzzkill. As it turns out, there's nobody he can't beat the fun out of. Matheny murdered any of those dreams in the womb.
