On the flip side of the coin...there is a saying in professional sports that managers are "hired to be fired". Just look at recent events in the NFL. One year you are the darling of the league and know everything. The next year you are a bum and have no idea what you are doing. It is the same in every professional sport as players tune out managers and coaches. The professional tennis and golf players are notorious for going through many coaches in a season. MLB, NFL and NBA front offices go in a different direction a lot....I've always wondered how many different directions some of these teams can possibly go.....are you listening Washington Football Team or Baltimore Orioles? I'm hoping the Yankees give her a long rope since she is the first, and there are more women to follow. I'm crossing my fingers that she won't be the first female manager to be fired, but somebody is going to have that distinction. Man or woman, it is tough being a professional sports manager.
