I heard a guy on the radio the other day using this, it was for football but I believe it can be said for all professional sports.
Order of importance to have a winning team
A. Owner
B. GM
C. Manager/coach
D. X (football would be QB, baseball maybe Starting Pitching, basketball maybe PG and Hockey I guess could be Goalie, no idea really about hockey)
I think this is 100 percent true, lets look at my 2 favorite teams that seem to be going in opposite directions of each other
Cincinnati Bengals
Owner- F
GM- no gm because the owner sucks so F by default
Coach- B- (i'm being generous here I think, but nobody can win in this situation)
QB- A One of few bright spots
Add all that up and you see why the bengals suck and won't be getting any better anytime soon
Cincinnati Reds
Owner- A (wants to win, spends money, brings in the baseball people to do this
GM- B+ (Has done more good than bad and add in Jockety as an advisor and the front office is solid)
Manager- B (its too early really, but i'm givng dusty a solid B, players love him and trust me, after seeing minor league coach after minor league coach around here in cincinnati, its nice to have a proven guy)
SP- B (too eary, but wow does it look good so far, if we could get the offense on the same page the reds could be contenders as early as this year)
thats my thoughts, agree or disagree with this?
