therealworldschampion 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 Phillies - Terry Francona. Bowa may need to be fired, but he's had 2 winning seasons at least. Francona hasn't won shit. I know he's in Boston so Theo can tell him who to play but Red Sox fans, you thought Grady was a pushover, yeesh. Flyers- Don't really know who Sixers - Doug Moe or John Lucas. Moe was a horrible coach with bad talent, Lucas won 13 games in 1995-96. Take your pick. Eagles- RICH KOTITE. I can pick out many, like the time they lost to Dallas because Kotite's chart ink ran in the rain. I blame this on that asshole Norman Braman, since he hated Buddy Ryan, and had a choice between defensive coordinator Jeff Fisher and Kotite. May have won one playoff game, more than Ryan did, but was benefitting off Ryan's players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 Marlins: Jeff Torborg. Couldn't coach worth a damn, had his son Dale (The Demon) chase down and beat up Antonio Alfonseca for being soft. Is pretty much the reason AJ Burnett's arm fell off, and also had the Marlins 10 games under .500 when they had all that talent last year. Giants: Ray Handley. RAY MUST GO! RAY MUST GO! Man, I hated him. I only really watch baseball and football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slayer 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 Note: This only covers within my lifetime and maybe a couple years before, since I'm not hunting back to the WW2 era or before for this. Minnesota Vikings: Les Steckel, the lone black mark on a franchise with otherwise respectable coaching history (hell, even Jerry Burns made it to the NFC championship). Before anyone else says Mike Tice, I'm willing to give him another chance given the roster the last couple of years. If he fucks up again though... Cincinnati Reds: Pete Rose. Arguments about betting aside, he was a Hall of fame player, but a shitty manager. Boston Red Sox: I'm a relatively recent Sox fan (last couple of years) so I'll let a more experienced Sox fan field this one, although I'd say John MacNamara if only for the stupid decision of putting a weak-kneed Bill Buckner out on the field. Michigan football: Gary Moeller, if only for the supposed bar incident. He was a good coach otherwise in his short tenure (two Rose Bowl appearances and one victory) Kansas State football: Anyone not named Bill Snyder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Decemberists 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 To break up the American dominance... Worst coach of my team, Nottingham Forest was David Platt. Spent £20m to two years and left us in a much, much worse position than we were in when he arrived and we were forced to sell all our decent players at very ,very low prices to get them off the wage bill. We almost went out of business because of him, bastard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

therealworldschampion 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 If I read correctly about it, Alfonseca was refusing to get a physical before the 2002 season, and locked himself in a room refusing to come out. Torborg's son(The Demon), was the conditioning coach at the time, and was threatning Alfonseca with physical harm if he didn't come out and get his physical.

Mik 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 Mik, I've never heard about the Alfonseca thing. Can you elaborate? Loria would not explain those reasons, but the Marlins were unhappy that Alfonseca reported to camp overweight and has had some back problems. He also nearly scuffled with conditioning coach Dale Torborg, aka pro wrestler The Demon, who is the son of manager Jeff Torborg. (Alfonseca chose to avert any conflict by fleeing into a clubhouse training room and locking the door behind him.) From an article I just googled on CNNSI. Basically what happened is that everyone wanted Alfonseca gone, and he was being a crybaby about it. He did or said something that pissed off Dale Torborg and Torborg went after him. Alfonseca is a big man, but that didn't stop him from running into the clubhouse and locking the door so Torborg couldn't get him. Alfonseca was traded to the Cubs no less than a week later.

Callahan's refusal to adapt to the Raider's age and injury problems killed them. He kept coaching like Gannon was the MVP, Jerry Rice was 27, and their o-line was healthy. It was a recipe for disaster. It showed that he could only live off of Gruden's past, and that he did not have the creativity or aspirition to carve his own niche in the team.

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 Also - as a man who switched his aliegance from the Buffalo Bills to the Miami Dolphins in the mid-90's, I wasn't happy about Jimmy Johnson's Cowboy Ass coming to coach my team. Jimmy built the defense, bringing in guys like Zach Thomas, Sam Madison, etc., while also working to build a running game - 2 of the biggest weaknesses of the team during the Marino-era. He basically laid the foundation for the current team, so I can't see how you'd be disappointed with bringing him in. Flyers- Don't really know who How 'bout Bill Dineen? Johnny Davis could also be a candidate for worst 76ers coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
