Maybe he will reveal why Evans was dropped without ever getting
fired. Maybe he will quit. The assumption that he will inevitably get
fired looks like wishful "thinking" on the part of an Evans ratpacker.
"Why does mediocrity always triumph?" -- Jr
For evil to triumph, it requires only that good men do nothing. Why
don't you do something, already? 
IMO, the view that mediocrity has triumphed here, reveals only the
bias of an Evans ratpacker.
First of all, the new format of Chess Life has not even been seen,
let alone compared to the old.
Secondly, dropping Evans makes room for somebody else; what if that
someone is better than Evans was (at the end)? What if he doesn't
obsess about Fischer, but lives in the real (i.e. current) world?
Maybe Evans' replacement (so to speak) will be worse, like Key Crackers
was (snicker). Like Wolff and Benjamin were (gawdawful hacks). Maybe
the replacement will bore us to tears, or maybe he, too, will obsess
about Fischer. Time will tell.
BTW, USCF shows Dan Lucas at 1562 OTB, so it is true that Larry Evans
(2457) could give him Knight odds. I imagine Larry Evans could also
give Jr and Larry Parr (UNR) Knight odds, so they should watch their
step lest mediocrity triumph once again.
This Knight odds thing keeps popping up, yet nobody seems eager to
back it up; Fischer once offered Knight odds to "any woman in the
world", yet when approached to play a top Russian woman, he chickened
out.
More to the point here, why is it that the great Larry Evans is
offering *only* Knight odds to a 1500? Scared?
