Bobby replaced Dave Bristol as the manager of the Atlanta Braves prior to the 1978 season, inheriting a team that had finished last in the league during the previous two seasons and, in the year 1977, compiled a worse record than the first-year Seattle Mariners of the American League. Building from the ground up, the Braves finished last in both 1978 and 1979.

Entering 1980, Bobby made one of the unusual moves for which he is known, moving power-hitting first baseman–catcher Dale Murphy, who had developed a throwing block as a catcher that hindered his ability to play, to center field. Murphy later won two National League Most Valuable Player Awards as well as five Gold Gloves and became one of the premier players of the 1980s.

In the year 1980, the Braves finished fourth with their first record above .500 since 1974. However, Bobby was undone by the 1981 baseball strike when the Braves finished fifth and owner Ted Turner fired him. Asked at a press conference who was on his shortlist for the manager, Turner replied, “It would be Bobby Cox if I hadn’t just fired him.

We need someone like him around here.” The Braves won the National League West division title in the year 1982 and finished second in both 1983 and 1984 under Cox’s successor Joe Torre. Bobby finished with a record of 266 wins and 323 losses in the regular season.

Five months after his stroke, Bobby made a visit to SunTrust Park on September 2, 2019, to watch the Braves play the Toronto Blue Jays, a game which the Braves won 6–3. As a result of the stroke, Cox suffers from paralysis in his right arm which requires it to be in a sling.
