Which current coach and/or manager is the worst in sports?

[hockeybeat]

It's pretty self-explanatory. Of the coaches or managers listed, which one is the worst in sports.

 

[sportschick]

Isiah Thomas. No ifs, ands or buts.

Are we talking just on the playing field?

Factor everything in.

How come half of those choices are NYC-centric? ****, the whole "the sky is ****ing falling, ohmygawwwwwwd" bull**** among the NL East baseball fans is wearing really, really thin on this board.

Willie Randolph does not belong on this at all. Isiah is a worse GM so I didn't vote for him as a coach. (which he really isn't that bad at) The game has passed Lloyd Carr by, he has taken the fun out of beating Michigan. It isn't even fair any more so he gets my vote. Michigan doesn't lack talent they lack a plan of attack and schemes.

Answer's pretty self-explanatory, too.

Zeke.

Isiah, thanks.

Besides that, one choice only has a national championship ring. About 100-some coaches in NCAA football would give a left nut to be that terrible. Dude, I'm being blunt I know, but this list is total crap. There shouldn't even be a list. Let people come up with names.

No, Isiah's an incredibly ****ty coach as well. Can't do **** when he has great talent. Ask the Pacers.

Some guys are bad coaches and good humans. Others are good coaches and bad people. Isiah is all world at both: bad coach, prick.

I'd like an explanation on how Isiah got the Zeke nickname. I've always been led to believe he cribbed it from Jerry West, who before being known as "The Logo" was "Zeke from Cabin Creek" derived from growing up in Chelyan, W.Va. I'd think Jerry would like his nickname back.

At least he took them to the playoffs twice. But yes, he's terrible. Everything he gets his hands on either underachieves or completely falls apart.

I have no idea how he got his nickname but after he has ruined it I am sure West does not want it back.

But once a magnificent point guard.

How did Uncle Phil on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" get that same Zeke nickname? We don't know, and it's better left unasked.

Oh, and Isiah sucks a big deuce. It doesn't matter how big this list is, he'd probably be the odds-on favorite to win. Remember the CBA?

I could have coached that team to the playoffs. They should have won the East, not been a 7 or 8 seed.

Did PhilaYank take over HB's handle to start this ****ing thread?

Cute.

I voted for Coughlin. Herm at least gets the respect of his players. Willie is just in a bad funk, Weis is a good coach, just not a good recruiter. I don't know much about either Carr or Gretsky, but Coughlin neither has a clue what to do in the game or how to unite his team, let alone get their respect.

Oh wtf do you know about motion offenses and drawing up three-point prayers at the buzzer? [/just making sure everyone knows that's sarcasm now that I have a drink in my hand]

The Pacers had the best record in the East and went to the NBA Finals the year before Isiah took over, immediately became a .500 team the next year with Isiah, but then had the best record in the East again the year after Isiah left. Zeke's job with Pacers was nothing to brag about.
