    Wally Backman should replace Leyland.

    Love his coaching style. Coaches like a killer.

    As long as they don't do something stupid like considering one of his lackeys -- Brookens or Lamont for instance -- I'm all ears.

    They'd either tell him to shut the f\*\*k up or have him committed.

    Wow Wally Backman huh?

    Deuce has truly established he knows nothing about baseball.

    Unless you're into having someone who will have more of both ejections and arrests than his entire roster

    He was the 51s manager and he was almost always very calm and reasonable. Not a sideshow anymore. I don't know if that makes him qualified for the Tigers job, but he's far from 90's era Pinella.

    The funniest moment I can remember from him this year was on local radio when he did an interview. They were talking about the book "The Bad Guys Won" about the 86 Mets and what would happen on the plane rides to and from games.

    Steve Cofield: So I gotta say, I don't know if this guy was making any of it up, but if half the stories this guy was telling us were true...
    Backman: (interrupting) Well I can guarantee you at least half of them were true.

    Players don't want tough guys like Ozzy Guillen and Wally Backman

    They want easy managers that have no rules and they can loaf and not try

    THey want to just laugh on the bench all the way to the bank and do not care about wins and losses

    They don't want to pressure on them they don't want to hustle

    They do not want to be called out when they're playing bed

    The loser baseball player

    No one can talk to a fukkin 100 million dollar diva that way and not get canned after they bitch about it.

    I wish it would go back to those old school ways.
    I'd love to see Joe Girardi walk onto the fkn field one time when Cano dogs a play out and point him to the bench instantly for the remainder of the game and embarrass him.
    Those players need it.
    No one plays hard anymore, especially when they get their money.

    Here's another classic Backman RAGE:

    It will be hard for me to believe mattingly ever gets another managing job after he gets canned with the dodgers. He's the worst.
