Without looking at others is there a a clearer Mt Rushmore for each current team in any other 4 Franchise Market?

VIKINGS: Harry P Grant
TWINS: Thomas F Kelly
TIMBERWOLVES: Chris Finch
WILD: Jacques Lemaire

And only one of them won the ultimate championship.

I do give credit to Bud for winning an NFL Championship in 1969, but of course, lost the Superb Owl.

Sigh

Only two even got to the Ultimate Championship Game/Series.
 




Chris Finch. Pearl Jam Fan! I knew there was a reason I liked him.


The Shelton/Finch Bro-fest explained:

Shelton hired in October, loves the playoff atmosphere in town. He laughed telling the story of wearing his Wild sweatshirt downtown after one of their playoff wins. People didn’t recognize him as the Twins manager, but everyone he kept walking past offered fist bumps or high fives to celebrate.

He hasn’t had a chance to reconnect with Finch in person after the Twins season and NBA playoffs started, but they continue to text each other regularly, wishing each other’s teams good luck. They’re both about the same age and Pearl Jam fans.
 

Finchy had a sketchy last two minutes…

Where was Ingles on the in bound? 😂😂

2 of them are in their respective Hall of Fames though, Grant & Lemaire. Jacques was already in as a player, but I could have seen him getting in as a HC too.

Kelly not a HoFer but a 2 time World Champion.
Finch has already tripled the Wolves Western Conference Finals appearances.

Seems pretty respectable, though obviously not as powerful as Boton/NE: Auerbach-Belichick-Francona-Sinden per se.

2 combined titles from only one of the four on the Mount Rushmore is not respectable.

Yeah, that part sucks. Not having any team make the Championship Game/Round since 1991 will do that to a market.

None of the Coaches could overcome the shortcomings of their Owners.
