I'd usually rather see a full season of results than a quick turnaround of half a season. 
I'm not opposed to the Reds conducting a quality search for a manager, but I'd also like to see how the team finishes out the rest of this season under Riggleman. Price left his stamp no doubt and it wasn't pleasant . So far Riggs has gotten a lot  from a sub bad team, but again ,it ain't over till it's over.  Managers really have little to no control over injuries or whether pitchers throw strikes or homeruns. Force of will only gets a team so far. They still need quality players to have a successful season. 

Yea, I think one of the managers biggest job is team direction and chemistry. I am not sure which one Price severely lacked, but it's clear as day that Rigs is miles better than him. To be completely transparent, I think they should 100% consider him, but in no way, shape or form just give him the job or remove the interim tag. That's not going thru their due diligence. I would not be in complete favor of Rigs, but I realize they can clearly do worse. Would just like the piece of mind knowing they at least went thru the process.
