Maybe what the Mets need is someone with Superior Intellect.
Khan is a veteran and demands respect from his players.
He is never one to give up. It could be 10-2 in the bottom of the 9th and Khan will not give up the game and will say, “To the last, I grapple with thee. From hell’s heart, I stab at thee. For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee.” He’s Wally Backman in a bad mood.
All managers have to deal with Gelbs. “Khan, how did it feel when the bullpen gave up that walk-off home run”
“Don’t insult my intelligence Gelbs,”
One downside to Khan is sometimes he isn’t as smart as he thinks, A veteran manager might know something about the rulebook that Khan doesn’t know. The last thing you need is Khan accidentally losing the DH in a big game. I don’t think the Mets can afford to take such a big risk.
Will Khan manage the Mets? No.
