Mets Choose the Intense Collins as Their Manager

Question

Would someone tell me that why Mets Choose the Intense Collins as Their Manager?

Answer 1

When the Los Angeles Dodgers  were searching for a manager five years ago, Paul DePodesta was prepared to hire Terry Collins, the team’s minor league field coordinator. DePodesta, then the general manager, loved Collins’s passion and thought of him as a star of player development. After a lengthy search, the Mets chose the energetic Collins to be their 20th manager. The hiring of Collins shattered the notion that Sandy Alderson, the new general manager, would hire only a puppet type to manage the team according to the strict direction of the front office.
