So if managers don’t matter very much, why the vehement defense of the guy? If they matter little, let’s try someone else. Maybe someone else can tie up the loose ends that even his most ardent supporters have to admit exist. If they matter very little then whoever we put in there couldn’t be that much worse, right?
I mean what have they accomplished with him that we can’t move on to someone else? A best of 3 series win against a mediocre team with all the games at home? It only seems like that was amazing because of our terrible playoff history. That wouldn’t create a ripple with most serious franchises.
