Read: HoJo Wants In
In an article for the Daily News, Mark Hale notes that Howard Johnson wants to return to the coaching staff in 2009.
Johnson, in regards to coaching next year:
“Oh, sure, absolutely. The way I look at this year, we failed because we didn’t reach our goal of getting to the postseason. But when I look at us offensively, we had a lot of positives, and our positives outweighed our negatives.”
Hale also writes that bench coach Sandy Alomar Sr. wants to return next year as well.
…the offense looked great at times, and i feel he did a good job, especially if he had anything to do with carlos delgado’s turnaround…however, i feel that delgado is his own coach at this point, and the offense, like other areas of the team, lacked consistency…i’d like to see this team play small ball more, move runners over, leave less runners on base etc., but overall i like hojo and hope he returns in some capacity…
