I'm amused, but not surprised, at the downvotes for this.....but if a great manager could take an 82 win team to a 92 win team, he'd be PAID AN INSANE AMOUNT OF MONEY......insane.
Tom Kelly's teams, outside the 2-4 great years, didn't win many games......I think people remember 87 and 91 and forget the bad years. Rocco never got that much time (and I don't think he should have).
Right? if the best manager was worth 10 wins over the average one, he'd get 10 million a year w/o an eyeblink. Teams (and manager agents) don't think they make that big a difference or they'd get more money.
