When you expect to win a championship you don't let a manager like Gibbons manage the team . Cavaliers were in first place but they canned the coach coz they knew that the team was winning not because of the coach.
The Jays win games not coz of Gibbons , but they sure lose coz of him . Not many games are lost coz of him however , but in a close race or a playoff game he loses just enuff games to make a negative difference . Just coz u in first place don't mean u keep an incompetent manager or coach around
