Fans of sports.
Were you ever actually.. relieved when the team you root for, fired their manager, or coach?
When the Braves were not doing well, before the hiring of current manager Brian Snitker..
I'm an Atlanta Braves fan, as most who know me on here, are aware.
Baseball fans know how long Bobby Cox was the Braves manager, and how much success he had while he was manager from 1990 to 2010.
After Bobby retired, the Braves hired Fredii Gonzalez, a coach under Bobby.
At one point when Fredi was managing the team, the Braves were really not doing well.
Thus, Braves fans started "Fire Fredi Gonzalez" pages, and chat rooms.
When Fredi Gonzalez was fired from the Braves, I was.. relieved.
To put into perspective, when the Braves fired Gonzalez in 2016, they had not fired a manager in season, since Russ Nixon was fired by then Braves General Manager Bobby Cox, in June 1990.
Cox, at the time, became the field manager, and stayed as GM for several months, before John Scherholtz came to the Braves, and started his long and successful tenure as Braves GM.
Anyhow, but the title of this thread really is, were you ever relieved, when the team you root for, fired their manager or head coach?
