Up until the last few years I could easily have been a better baseball manager than anyone who had ever managed. Too much mathematical stupidity going on. I'd be a good football manager if I was allowed to delegate a lot of stuff. Not sure about the other sports.
David,
Dont you think that this statement ignores the fact that your players might not have full confidence in a manager who has no major league experience whatsoever and tries to manage a game based on logic/mathematics over many morale'ish factors of the game? As far as im aware, baseball management by "outsiders" is kind of shunned at this point. I must assume youve considered these factors in your own self assessment, i just wonder how you think you would so easily be able to overcome them?
