Apparently, the possibility of individual coaches returning will be up to whoever the new manager is. That's sensible, but interesting since the now-released bunch includes former Twins like Brunansky, Molitor, and Steinbach who were generally considered to be doing pretty good work.

Because it's the Twins, internal candidates have to be considered front-runners:

-Molitor was offered the job when Gardenhire was back in 2002
-Steinbach is in a position (bench coach) that is frequently in line for managing promotions

-Doug Mientkiewicz has run insanely successful Ft. Myers Miracle teams the last two years - featuring up and coming Twins' prospects
-Gene Glynn has managed to win in Rochester which... yeah
-Jake Mauer is probably too young but is now like a successful five year veteran

I'm not really that interested yet in the outside-the-organization candidates. Though if they exist, that's good news. There's potential coming through the farm but it's important for the people in charge to acknowledge there are good answers that aren't already employed by the team that's lost 90+ games for four consecutive seasons.
