GM History
Every GM who has ever run a TBL team, 2001–2030
This covers every person who has ever run one of TBL’s 32 teams, going back to the league’s start in 2001 and current through the 2030 season — 107 different GMs across 118 separate stints. Win-loss records, playoff trips, and titles come straight from the league save file’s year-by-year manager records. “Series” and “Playoff Gms” are exact postseason series and game records, matched to each GM’s specific years in charge (including resolving teams that relocated or changed names). Franchises are listed under their current names.
Notable Patterns
Five GMs have run the same team since day one in 2001: Steve B (Baltimore Blue Crabs), Zeus L (Oahu Paddlers), Brendan Cooke (Phoenix Firebirds), Alex W (San Diego Seals), and JR L (Somerville Moneyline). Thirty straight seasons each.
Six current GMs ran a different team earlier in their careers — confirmed in the save’s year-by-year records, not guesses:
- Joe G — ran Philadelphia Eagles for one season (2009), took 6 years off, came back in 2016 with New York Empire.
- Michael E — ran Huron Herons for 8 seasons (2004–2011), took 8 years off, came back in 2020 with Rochester North Stars.
- Josh A — ran Huron Herons for 7 seasons (2012–2018), took 2 years off, came back in 2021 with Montreal Machine.
- Tim W — ran Montreal Machine for 8 seasons (2004–2011), took 11 years off, came back in 2023 with Fort Collins Roosters.
- Leo C — ran Kansas City Scouts for 2 seasons (2014–2015), took 14 years off, came back in 2030 with Tampa Bay Cannons.
- Daniel L — the one exception with no gap: went straight from Rochester North Stars (2014–2019) to Huron Herons (2020–present).
Worth noting: Huron Herons has had three of these six pass through it — Michael E, then Josh A, then Daniel L — making it the common thread in this group.
Most GM turnover: Cincinnati Regents (8 different GMs since 2001), Huron Herons and St. Louis Steam (7 each).
Most decorated current GM: Jay A in Denver — 5 titles, 19 playoff trips, .577 win percentage across 26 seasons. His postseason series record: 34-14, across 271 total playoff games (161-110).
Just arrived: Kaden C (Virginia Rebels) and Vinny D (Philadelphia Eagles) took over during the 2030 off-season and have no completed season yet, so they don’t appear in the tables below.
