Michael and Jenni Hardy are attempting to make lives of children in Iraq a little more fun. The couple has started a project of collecting soccer balls to send overseas. Jenni Hardy, who works at State Farm, is asking Frisco residents to help them fill a Frisco ISD school bus full of soccer balls. Michael Hardy works for the FISD transportation department.

The end of November is the deadline and buses will be located at Wal-Mart and Sam's from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday. Those wishing to help can also take the balls to the transportation department at 6900 Stadium Lane between 8 a.m.-4 p.m.

From the RMN:
"Rapids head coach Tim Hankinson has a contract that expires this year."

The guy's won one playoff series in seven years as an MLS head coach. They can't serious bring this guy back, can they?

[Stan Collins]

I sure hope not. This playoffs has probably saved Nicol's hide mostly undeservedly, but at least Hankinson should go.

[Revolt]

I sure hope not. This playoffs has probably saved Nicol's hide mostly undeservedly, but at least Hankinson should go.
And ... Nicol is far and away NE's most successful coach. Chew on that for a while.

[Clint Eastwood]

Adrulis and Hanki need to go for the good of the world in general. Why Hanki is still there boggles the mind. There are good coaches out there. Hell, Terry Venables (former England coach) is about to take a job in Australia. Why do we need to settle for these guys?

Excellent story about Fabrice Noel. I hope his mother and remaining brother can get out of Haiti and join him here. If he's as good as claimed, I wouldn't mind Metro taking him onboard -- even if he planned to go to college. Get him into St. Johns, perhaps.

Hell, Terry Venables (former England coach) is about to take a job in Australia. Why do we need to settle for these guys?Yeah, no more sucky American coaches! We need good foreign ones like Carlos Alberto Perreira, Bora Milutinovic, and Carlos Quieroz :D

While you might have a point about Hanii and Andrulis, bringing up El Tel as an option might not be a good idea as he is never able to last anywhere more than a few years.

I would say that Peter Nowak is quite a good coach. I even think he is the best coach in MLS. And he isn't American. His team (last half of season) is organized, organized, organized and plays physical as well.

isn't the american at man-city a possibility??

he was in the running for the dc job

I would say that Peter Nowak is quite a good coach. I even think he is the best coach in MLS. And he isn't American. His team (last half of season) is organized, organized, organized and plays physical as well.But he did have a connection with the league, as did Frank Yallop. That's different than CAP, or to an extent, Carlos Quiroz. It really helps to have coaches that can understand the American player, either by being in country awhile or actually playing in the league. Not that helped Thomas Rongen, but hey, he still gets a paycheck.

Admittedly, I doubt Clint Eastwood's point was that we need more big name foreign coaches, it was that some rather unimpressive coaches, sometimes more than once, get hired and/or keep jobs in this league. I just like throwing in the littany of failed MetroCoaches when the quality of MLS coaches is criticized. Maybe it wasn't germain to this particular point, so I stand corrected.

[Elninho]

Osorio? He's probably not seriously in the running for a head coaching job anywhere. He's a strength and conditioning coach, which is a highly specialized role.

[Brrca Fan redded]

Bradly is just as bad the rest of MetroStars coaches before him and a fact that no one seems to mention around here. The first year at Fire might have been a lucky stroke for him other then that the team should be looking for a another coach. :(
