It's just that his style was more suited to Japan. Hell they have a bar named after him over there.
The biggest problem is the culture. Winning is a culture ans so is losing. After not being relevant for 25 years, it will take one hell of a commitment on the owners part. Until the 1990s, my beloved Tribe had one season worth talking about, 1968 when they were third. It took an owner with a real commitment and patience. And at that they were relevant with two Series appearances and no wins.
