Brock Holt endorsed Berkman publicly as head coach today... The first former high profile player to do so. Says 50+ former players have signed a letter urging Karlgaard to make him head coach.

Tony LaRussa has now endorsed Berkman too.

Is this what Graham meant by feeling like his former players were pushing for his job?

I didn't realize there were multiple former players trying to get him out.

Yes/No...

Graham was referring to Berkman when he stated that a former player wanted his job.

The letter w/ 50 signatures came later. Brock Holt wasn’t one of the ringleaders just a signee from what I can gather.

Berkman has been actively calling donors/former players apparently in a campaign effort. Jose Cruz Jr and Paul Janish are two other former players that have interviewed for the job apparently.

Yeah, but what I’m saying is that there was an original group who banded together to get the AD to not renew Graham’s contract/push Berkman. Then, once it became clear Graham wasn’t coming back, others jumped on the Berkman bandwagon.

I take it that Holt was in the second group.
