baseball and football are apples and oranges. The role of a manager in baseball and a head football coach are completely different and the two really shouldn't be compared.

If the comparison is in the sense of having a team consistently winning but not winning the title, then comparing to Marv Levy isn't really fair either. Bobby Cox won Manager of the year at least once in the 80's, 90's and 2000's. His teams won 14 straight division titles. Levy's bills were good for about 7 years and really good for 4 and Levy Never won a super bowl...although that doesn't impact my opinion that he was a good coach.

Cox was lifetime 500 games over.500. He is the fourth winningest manager in baseball history.

Over the last forty years, who was better? And if someone was better, what makes that manager better? More world series?
