Sweet Lou knows what he's doing. He's been the majors for so long now... player, manager, GM... he always seems happiest when he is in the mix of things. (Fighting, throwing things, screaming at the umpire, etc.)
Plus, there is talk that A-Rod might be a possible trade to the Cubs. I know that when Lou managed Alex in Seattle, they always got along very well. Besides, if Alex does decide to leave NY, the Yankees probably won't allow it to be another AL team, so the Cubs would be a good match. Lou, I can be almost certain, would welcome a ball player like this.

He is not Crazy. Speaking from a coaches perspective, I personally am more intereested when I coach a team that is at the bottom of the pile because they are usually more willing to listen and change where as if you walked on to a team such as the Yankees you would probably get the silent treatment.

No, not at all. If he leads the Cubbies to a Championship he will
treated like a God, forever. Number 14 is retired for Ernie Banks so I
guess he'll be #41 like when he was with Reds and it was Pete

Not if the Cubs can sign Barry Zito and Carlos Lee. I think the owners have assured him that the purse strings are off. Otherwise I think he would have passed.

Maybe that was the only way he could get paid $10 million for the next 3 years.

he is crazy, period. The guy is a nutjob, but he has had his share of inept teams (can u say Devil Rays. go ahead - try it.. there u go.) i think he sees the Cubs as a team with potential

You had to be even crazier to want to coach Detroit two years ago. And look at them now.
