The obvious question is whether Joe will follow his old boss Andrew Friedman to the Dodgers, perhaps in a front office capacity, since Friedman has already announced that Don Mattingly will return next season as the manager. Of course, such an arrangement would be intolerable to Mattingly, so it seems unlikely, at least for now.

While Mattingly has many managerial faults, he is nevertheless quite strong, no doubt from his days in New York, at dealing with the big egos that go along with the big contracts in LA, something Madden hasn't had much occasion to confront. So, perhaps Joe acts as a TV analyst for a year while Friedman evaluates Mattingly up-close.
