Ozzie Guillen is not the best, not near it. Francona is consistent, and won with a team that perpetually sucked.

I mostly like him during his years with the Mariners. That's where he built up his reputation as not only a great manager, but a fiery one as well. When arguing with umpires he's been known to throw bases, pour dirt all over home plate, and kick his hat quite far.
He gave the Mariners their big 1995 season, to which I had season tickets! I was able to meet him personally, and he doesn't seem much like the hard manager he is on the field, but he's a really nice guy!
