Tony La Russa, you're No. 1!

Well, not in managerial genius, perhaps.

But ...

St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony LaRussais now the longest-tenured major pro sports manager or head coach, with Jerry Sloan's resignation from the Utah Jazz. A month ago, La Russa was No. 3. Then, Jeff Fisher left the Tennessee Titans, and now this.

Let's just hope TLR doesn't expand his cult of personality.

  1. I'm shocked to hear of Sloan's resignation after 23 years as head coach of the Utah Jazz. Nowadays, it's extremely rare for a player, manager, or coach to spend that much time with one organization. I can't believe how much the NBA has changed since he started coaching the Jazz. It will take a long time to get used to the fact he is no longer the team’s head coach.
