Is it possible to be worse than .500 without TRYING to be?

So could it follow that a replacement manager is worth the same?Is it possible to be worse than .500 without TRYING to be?
I would say yes. Unless you are among the most talented gifted managers ever.
A .500 percentage is exactly average. However, if you are an average manager playing against mostly above average managers your winning percentage should be below .500 no matter how hard you try.
I might even argue that many below average managers only play occasional teams while the better managers play a lot of teams. You are therefore more likely to get in a league with more above average managers than below average. If you are an average manager then your record will be below .500.
