MLB managers vs. NFL coaches

[Bryan]

Bruce Bochy won three championships with the Giants and now he’s winning with the perennially underachieving Rangers. I would say he’s a cut above Gene Mauch, regardless of the similarity of their regular season records.

I see a similarity between John Madden and Bobby Cox. They were big regular season winners year after year but only managed to win one championship each.

The randomness of baseball is why the increase in playoff teams makes the postseason a complete crapshoot.

Agree with all of this, although I think Cox had more of a hand in developing the Braves into winners, whereas Madden kind of kept the winning continuing.

That’s very true. Cox also turned the Blue Jays around and came oh so close to winning the AL in 1985.
