Mazz’ Tiers: Ranking Boston Coaches & Executives – Felger & Mazz

AO they’ve got AI Hondas and Toyotas they are the ones who sponsor whom as than is of God and for as his tears those are the Tears of a Clown his tears the second tier hold on let me get my mz’s tears Dallas Buffalo Tennessee mz’s

Tear third tier okay here we go hold on my mes tears tears tears tears all right it’s time for masses tiers presented by the Bernardi Automotive Group when it comes to auto dealers the Bernardi Automotive Group always finishes top tier they sell and service Acura Audi Honda Nissan Toyota and Volvo vehicles

Bernardi for now Bernardi for Life visit them now at bernardy autogroup.com as what do we got okay so we decided to go with uh given that this could be Bill bellich last week on the job and certainly seems headed that way we decided to go with best coaches SL

Executives in Boston Sports over the last 50 years that’s an approximation call it 1970 okay the modern era for lack of a better term and rather than do the typical five tiers I decided to break them into three and we wanted to make a little bit of fun so tier one is

Great tier two is good and then rather than do average I just skipped that entirely and went to suck bag the worst okay so tier one great tier two good tier three suck bag love it I’m not really interested in naming every average coach or executive that came

Through here you follow me is it too much to ask that you start tier two like give me the good not great and then give me the best and then give me the worst well tier one’s kind of obvious so that that’s why I don’t mind starting tier

One okay I’ll shut up now go ahead okay and these are in no particular order righted hour back Bill bellich Theo Epstein now let me just say quickly put him in order okay I would actually do them in that order red arbach Bill bich Theo fste red arbach

Over bill bich I would red one how many titles and again I he was eight well okay and here here’s the real Advantage he has over bellich nine he was an exceptional general manager he would he made some great Russell great great moves uh Russell M in Parish for Joe

Barry Carroll Larry Bird drafted the year before like you know a Len Bias deal despite what happened like he made some unbelievable moves so I would say red was the best we’ve ever seen But honestly if I could divide that tier one into a tier and a sub tier I would put

Theo at 1B I had it so bel’s third on that list no no no no no no no no no I I I see I see one a is red and Bill got it one B is Theo who has two championships got it but you know given what Theo had

To deal with for the uh you know the curse and all that bull crap like and he won two of them that was no he wasn’t here as long as the other two inherited a lot yeah he did but he made some pretty ballsy moves in there so I would

Put Theo on tier one I think we’d all be happy if Theo were the GM okay I’m surprised a certain name wasn’t on that top tier list but go ahead now okay now tier two and again these are no particular order but I’m also going to

Take a uh put a couple of people in a sub tier Doc Rivers Alex K and let me let me just say that both of those guys would be in tier 2B I would put those guys in tier below the rest of the people on this list Claude Julian Terry Frank cona Don

Cherry Harry cinden Dick o Connell I thought we said since 1970 well Harry cinden was a president of the team but he was a GM for 30 years into the ’90s or late ‘ 80s whenever it was di o Connell was 67 right no no dick okon was into the 70s

No but wasn’t he the wasn’t he the manager of the 67 team no no you’re thinking of Dick Williams oh my bad you getting your dicks mixed up yeah dick oconnell the general manager of the Red Sox in the 70s bad dick he did a in fact

The next guy on the list is Chuck Fairbanks I would say that dick oconnell and Chuck Fairbanks were very similar they developed and drafted tremendous Talent oh we were going over Chuck Fairbanks his drafts earlier incredible I mean go ahead m no and then let me just add uh Danny a bill

Parcels Tommy Hinson Larry lukino I don’t think you should leave Lino out of this interes he was an important push back on Theo Epstein again I add rivers and cor to this list but I’d put them behind everyone else that we mentioned there and rivers and cor won

Championships so I don’t want to call them you know they’re better than average but they’re not really what I would call on the same level as Tommy heinson or Fairbanks or o Connell go Chuck Fairbanks one of the most forgotten and underrated uh figures in Boston Sports history that 70s Patriots

Team was a wagon they easily could have won the Super Bowl in 76 if not for Ben D they were the only team that beat the Raiders who did win the Super Bowl he is drafting from 73 through 78 muray listen to this he he traded plunet okay so he

Got and got three first round picks back for plunet but between that and the picks that he did have these are guys that he drafted he drafted john Hannah he drafted Sam Cunningham he drafted Daryl Stingley who was going to be a stud before he got hurt he drafted Steve

Nelson he drafted Andy Johnson he drafted Russ Francis he drafted again Steve Grogan in the fifth round he drafted Mike Haynes Pete Brock Tim Fox wow he drafted Raymond Clayborn Stanley Morgan Don hasselbach I don’t know if you put him on the list but he I how

Many did I just list five Hall of Famers maybe I mean I don’t know if Sam Cunningham’s in the Hall of Fame but do you understand there team of Famers on there those are studs what uh the drafting that that guy did out of this

World and Dick o Connell was the Red Sox equivalent Fred Lynn Jim Rice Carlton Fisk like all those guys through that era he he basically built the Red Sox team of 1975 okay there you go yeah so I to me those guys are very very comparable uh and I said I would have

Added if there was a sub tier with Kora and Dark Rivers I may have added Mike Milbury and Terry O’Reilly so they were good coach they were pretty good coaches Cloe well he won a c how many years was a year did he win more games than any

Bruins coach in history was it something like that I think it might be uh actually Cassidy if I’m not mistaken but he’s up there clo yeah Cloe is a good coach here CL yeah clo how many cups in cassid win uh one here oh zero oh okay

Just I just thought I’d passed that one but so obvious was like a happy accident okay now tier three this is the SE when I got watching pen this is a suck bag tier that coaches and I go or Executives I go oh my God brod

Rust Dave Lewis yep ML car yep Rick patino yep Joe carrian yep I think I picked one from every team I tried to pick one from every team but you’re missing at least one o go who Heim Bloom oh I considered him well consider I should have put high and Bloom on this

List that’s fair cuz I got to 18 and I couldn’t I wanted to get to 20 I got and I I meant to put Bloom on there so you’re right thank you I aired yep that’s two ours and airs MOS e r r e d aired mistake well and I I’d also put

Give Bobby Greer some consideration up there thank you as suck bag or or suag okay okay Bobby G is one of the best well I don’t know EXA I give you his drafts yeah go ahead hold on one second I would like to know I just gave you

Fairbanks I just gave you the best of the best Bobby Greer Chris KY Brandon Mitchell God Cedric Shaw Chris Carter Damon Denson Ed Ellis Damon Denson tobuy Jones Tony Simmons Rod rutage Chris Floyd Craig spers he was actually right Damen Woody good Andy katsen Meer oh

He do three W those were horrible and so 96 you know this is where Bill parcel stormed out of the room I don’t know if you want to give this to Bobby G I don’t I want to give it to Parcels Terry Glenn lawyer Malloy Ted brusi one 123 Bing

Bang Boom how about 95 Bill Parcels Ty Law Ted Johnson Curtis Martin that’s a pretty good draft suck on that two Hall of Famers in there Ty Law Ted Johnson Curtis Martin Ted was a damn good player 94 Willie mcginness 93 Drew bledo Chris Slade Todd ruchie Vincent brisbee all

Good players for you that Chris KY and and and so listen to tie this all together craft blew him out because he didn’t want to do the drafting right that’s another one and yet if you listen to or you read the athletic today craft is taken credit for

The success of Bill Parcels yeah who he inherited didn’t hire he inherited and then forced out but then somehow now he taking credit for him you’re proud of the fact that Parcels went on to have a long career the guy that drafted Willie mcginness Drew bledo Ty Law Ted Johnson
