He's been coaching the U.S. Mens' Olympic team that long?

Phil Jackson teams are exactly as good as the talent Phil Jackson teams have in the #1/#2 spots. Jordan/Pippen? Champs. Shaq/Kobe? Champs. Kobe/Pau? Champs.

The 05-06, 06-07 Lakers were meh. The non-Jordan Bulls were not that great, especially the 2nd year when they were ~35-30 when MJ returned and took them on a 13-4 run to close the year. 02-03 with the lakers, Shaq missed a sixth of the year and they had a so-so record and missed the playoffs.

Phil's career he's packing a walloping .704 win %. But take the years when he doesn't have two elite players at the 1-2 spots*, and a star player at the 3 spot, and he looks pretty human.

Jackson is, however, the best coach of our era at self-promotion.

*they're hard to find, because he'll bail before he'll coach a mediocre team, but a few of them are there.

No. He had Pujols and his 75 WAR over 10 seasons. And benefit of NL Central where mediocrity could get them in the playoffs.

Ha. I don't know. Whenever someone says God save the queen or quin Snyder, it pops into my head. I hate ku but that was a funny ass put down. Drove by it quite a bit when I lived up there.

Watching PTI right now and Tony Cornheiser just proved how Tony Larussa is a better coach than Pop. I gotta follow this guy on twitter.

Just under 50% of the population would probably vote for this:
