If you aren't trying to make a major move then no it makes no sense to fire Schildt unless like you said he just wouldn't play their game.

That was my point. And it was why I called the Marmol hire the day Shildt's firing was announced.
You were looking for baseball reasons why the organization fired him. And I don't know why anyone bothered. Those reasons, IMO, are incredibly thin but ultimately they just didn't matter.
Baseball had absolutely nothing to do with this decision. This was an ego and consolidation of power thing. Nothing less.
Marmol was the obvious means to that end and was from the very beginning.
