A straight-forward question asking for a straight-forward answer.
If you were the General Manager of the Yankees. How much longer would you give Aaron Boone before you let him go?

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

Cashman is, in effect, Hal's brother- Therefore, he will not be fired- Cashman is so arrogant that he can't admit a mistake- Therefore, Boone has not been fired (let alone extended!)
I would have never gotten rid of Girardi
If Joe had quit for some reason, I would have never hired Boone. wherever Francona was in the Fall of 2017, I would have given the payout to have him in the manager chair for the Yankees in 2018
if for some reason I was the GM and forced to have Boone as the manager (VERY obviously we all know this is not and was NEVER the case!!!!), but IF, I think at the absolute most I would have possibly waited until the very feeble exit vs houston in 2022 before I said either you let me fire Boone and hire an actual baseball manager or I am giving my resignation.
I want to revise my earlier comment...
I would have never hired him in the first place. It made no sense - and it makes less sense each day he remains as the manager.
I would have pulled the trigger, at the latest, after the embarrassing World Series loss.
