Or does it depend on your team's situation? Such as a good or excellent teacher would be better for a young/rebuilding team and a manager stronger at handling pitching etc. would be better for a strong team.

He's good with coaching defense and good teacher of the game. But if I'm going to do a complete rebuild (I don't my team will do very well for the next couple of seasons anyway) I figure I may as well go with someone that is an excellent teacher rather than good at actually managing a game. Cool, thanks for the advice.
