Time heals all wounds.

My opinion only, but I don't think that JB could even bring himself to say "retirement" out loud yesterday, because as soon as he states it -- it's over.

When next season starts, I think his spectre will loom at the beginning of the season, because he's been at the helm for nearly 50 years.  And it will be weird for him, Autry, AND the fanbase -- because change isn't easy.

But after a couple of games, it won't seem as weird.  And JB will grow accustomed to sitting in room 12, and not being on the sidelines.  The fans won't worry about it anymore, because they'll be focused on the team's performance.  And we'll still see Jim at every home game, when the camera invariably focuses on him for a brief segment every game, with the announcers waxing reverentially about his accomplishments.

And all will be well.

I'm guessing that even some of these national interviews have been cathartic for JB, and will help the process of moving on.
