MLS coaches (current and potential) and coaching thread

To be fair, the case for the first two subs can be made (Martin for Ibson, Maximiano for Schuller). It was bringing on Toye instead of perhaps Eric Miller for a totally gassed Ramirez that had a lot of folks in Section 149 scratching their heads...

 

Ponder this:

Adrian Heath is the coach of mls soccer.com's Team of the Week.

The Apocalypse is well and truly upon us.

 

I've always thought he was a bad coach, seems like a decent fellow but I've never been impressed with his coaching attributes. Shame that the Cosmos asked for a fee when they tried to sign Savarese and it was more than Minny wanted to pay. Gio would have been leaps and bounds better.

 

Even a blind squirrel, etc.

 

Winning two, outscoring your opponents 7-2 and having five players land on the team (Quintero, Ramirez and Shuttleworth as starters, Ibarra and Kallman on the bench) certainly didn't hurt his cause any.

 

Could it be that there's a good coach hiding in him that is emerging?

 

Goal Scorers hide a lot of laws.

Look at how Zlatan is now making Sigi look like a "Tactical Genius" in LA.

 

can someone make an alternative poll with the same answers titled "I can believe this guy has a head coaching job in MLS"?

 

Or you know you can just stop beating around the bush and name it "How does Ben Olsen still have a coaching job". Its becoming mind boggling level disbelief how DC don't fire his ass.

 

That would be pretty cruel after making his team play the entire first half of the season on the road and then saddling him with Ol' Man Rooney for the second half.

 

So you're saying for the last few seasons you've been pleased with him? He honestly shouldn't have started the season as the team should have fired him last season and started fresh but if you love coaches that don't know how to make tactical adjustments and subs then please leave the man where he is as a NYCFC fan I'm all for eastern conference teams being irrelevant to the playoff chase.

 

What, his win percentage of 34% isn't good enough for you?

 

I'm sure, as an NYCFC fan, he is quite pleased with Olsen's winning percentage.

 

I'm very happy with Olsen, :-D but as someone who's followed the league since 96 part of me feels a little sad for a once great club. A strong DC would help with the rivalry with RB and NYCFC. Cause right now its almost a guaranteed win for either NY team.

 

I'm ready for Brian Schmetzer to be sent packing. He has the Sounders playing some boring football. Just sucks the fun out of watching my team.

 

Well there's your problem. You think you're supposed to have fun watching your team. Nope, this relationship is all about suffering, regardless of your team of choice (Champions League club fans excepted. Glory hunters).

 

I had the misfortune of "selecting" Newcastle United as my prem team back in 2000. I'm fully aware of suffering for your club. At least the Phoenix Rising play some decent football.

 

As any Serie A fan can tell you, exciting soccer is secondary to winning/losing... Sometimes the two are related, but winning ugly works too!
