Since 1990, only two coaches in each major team sport have won two league championships in their first four years of taking reigns of their respective franchises. Kinnear and Arena (1996, 1997) have done this in MLS. Rudy Tomjanovich (1994, 1995) and Phil Jackson (1991-1993 Chicago, 2000-2002 LA) accomplished this feat in the NBA. Mike Shanahan (1997, 1998) and Bill Belichick (2001, 2003-2004) reached this acclaim in the NFL, and Major League Baseball's Joe Torre (1998-2000) and Terry Francona (2004, 2007) also won two or more titles in their first four years with a franchise.
