10/19: Mazzone to Yanks: "No, Thank You"

From Newsday:
Oh well, I was actually quite surprised to hear his name was out there in the first place. The article also mentions Dave Righetti and Ron Guidry as being candidates for the job. Also, I didn't realize until about a week ago when I saw it mentioned here that Joe Kerrigan was in our organization as a scout. Was he really that bad of a pitching coach? He does have Major League experience, so I don't think it would be all that bad to give him a shot if we can't snatch Righetti or Guidry. Honestly I really don't know enough about anybody as a pitching coach to offer an opinion. Any thoughts?
Leo Mazzone decided earlier this morning to end discussions with the Yankees, according to a person familiar with the renowned Braves' pitching coach's thinking.
The Yankees' window to speak with Mazzone was apparently up sometime yesterday and they received a 24-hour extension, but talks didn't progress far enough.
