Default Will Dusty Baker ever be hired as a manager again?

I guess I'm jumping the gun a little, but I can't see how Dusty can possibly keep his job through the rest of this season. The Wrigley Field dugout has become a place were managers go to die. Not since the Phillies hired Lee Elia in 1988 has an ex-Cubs manager been re-hired. That's 14 managers the Cubs have had since 1983, none of whom could ever find a job managing again:

Don Baylor
Rene Lacheman
Jim Riggleman
Bruce Kimm
Thom Trebellhorn
Jim Lefbevre
Don Zimmer
Joe Altobeli
Jim Essian
Gene Michael
Frank Luchesi
Jim Frey
John Vukovich
Charlie Fox

Now back to Dusty. He is a 3 time manager of the year. Has been to the playoffs 4 times and to the World Series once. He had a reputation as being a great player's manager in San Fransisco but has taken tons of heat for a wide variety of decisions in Chicago.
