Has a decision to fire a manager/coach ever been so perfectly affirmed?

Rick Carlisle with the Mavs? Or did Avery win that one?

Maybe not him, but I feel like there is an obvious one I'm missing.

As has already been pointed out, Farrell isn't even the first Red Sox manager to win it the year following another coach's firing. Grady Little fired after '03, Francona won it in '04.

Bulls firing Doug Collins, a pretty good coach, and replacing him with Phil Jackson.


Then Phil Jackson replacing Del Harris/Kurt Rambis with the Lakers.

Seifert is not legit. Walsh retired, he wasn't fired.

Gruden sort of I guess although that Tampa team was a consistent contender. It wasn't like they went from terrible to world champs in one year like Boston just did.
