Though there has been a lot of speculation in recent years that the inability of the team to make the postseason would put Scioscia's job in jeopardy, the official line is that this is his decision, and the implication is he isn't finished with baseball, but only taking a break. He's in the final year of a ten year contract, and chose not to extend. But who knows? At 60, he certainly has more time in baseball ahead of him if he wants it.
If he were never to manage again, he would still have a realistic, though by no means certain, shot at the HOF. He's 18th in managerial wins, with only five non-HOFers ahead of him, none with as high a WP (and at least one of those five, Bochy, is headed to the HOF). Also sixth longest period managing one team.
Speculation over his replacement includes Brad Ausmus (who currently works for the team's GM) and Joe Girardi. How about Dusty?
