It'd be nice if his players could take a walk too.

I like what I've heard from him so far. Seems very knowledgeable.

My guess is we offered him more money.
I mean, w/out knowing specifics (which none of us do), if I had two similar job offers on the table and one side gave me an offer, I'd wait to see if the other side would match/surpass it.

Personally, whether he was my top choice or not, when you extend and offer to a first time manager and if he says wait a minute let me see if they offer me more, I would say goodbye.
Perhaps he just wanted to inform them that he was offered a job and that he was removing himself from their search.
That being said, he seems very knowledgeable and I like that he is actually talking the talk about accountability. Watching this team from afar for around 18 games a year he is able to give us a great opposing viewpoint as to what needs to change. Outside of Brenley, he might have the most knowledge about that than anyone else.

Why not? Brenley's extremely knowledgeable about the game.
Outside baseball, probably not so much -- but who knows, and who cares? That's not relative. Brenley knows what he's talking about.

I wouldn't dispute Brenly's knowledge of the game. I would dispute some of the conclusions he has drawn from that knowledge about the best way to go about winning a baseball game and building a successful team.
