Coaching Succession

31 franchises, 203 managerial tenures, and the win-share change across every handover. The last column is the difference between a manager and the predecessor at that franchise — descriptive, not causal: rosters, schedules and eras move alongside a hire. It is withheld entirely when either tenure ran under two seasons, because differencing two noisy numbers produces a confident-looking figure built from nothing.
