Why would they need to fire Maddon? He's a lame duck manager who's contract ends with the Cubs season.
There's no ****ing chance Maddon is back next season and that decision was made a long time ago. The only thing that would have changed that fate would have been another WS.
Theo asked him to be a more hands on manager in the offseason and they are going to have their worst year since his hire. Whatever he has to say to the players they just dont give a **** to listen any more. Maybe it's on the players but when they are on a hot streak and your manager decides 4 starts in a row is too much to handle and they need a day or 2 off to get someone like Daniel Descalso a start it's hard to blame the players for tuning him out. Bryant hinted at how frustrating it was not knowing where he was playing, hitting in the lineup, or even playing at all last season, but "that's just Joe being Joe." Well "Joe being Joe" is going to be looking for a job in a couple weeks.
