I'll say this much. If Pace has any thoughts of keeping Fangio as HC now would probably be the best time to fire Fox and allow Fangio to use the next eight games as an audition.
This next HC hire has to be the right one. Fangio has done a terrific job with defense but can he manage an entire team? If Pace has any doubts and feels that if he passes Fangio over like Emery did with Toub that he'll lose him then he needs to know beyond a shadow of doubt whether Vic is his guy.

There won't be any better time to do it than now.
This is a very good suggestion. I never really thought about it in the terms of a Fangio test run. I am certain Fox is getting fired, why not give Fangio a test run.
