Our Next Coach

I'm really looking forward to a press conference in the next few days naming Ante Razov as interim head coach

 

Bradley #1, Sigi would be better than what we've got, Klinsmann never in a million years unless you want to lose and be told you should be grateful for it. Get Berhalter back? I'm assuming Sarachan is not an option anymore.

 

Bradley is choice #1. If he isn't, Pete should step down.

 

But (try not to laugh)......... “We wanted the best man for the job,” Beckerman said. “Given where our league is and the game and the players that we have and the players that we have coming up, Curt is the best man for the job.”

Part of the problem with Onalfo's hire is that it was the product of two thoughts with the team. If we were going all-in on the youth movement, then maybe he might have made sense since he coached many of these guys with the GIIs. But since we also were bringing in strong-willed vets like Jones to go along with existing vets like Van Damme, Cole, etc., we also needed someone who could manage egos and the locker room. He's clearly unable to do the latter and he's not even doing the former very well, with Smith being the only success story and Diop a mixed bag at best. If Husidic is your first guy off the bench and you are signing MLS journeymen strikers to displace McBean, you sound like you are just following the Arena playbook without the Arena intangible qualities.

 

Sigi is likely the most up-to-speed on the team. He apparently has been to every Galaxy home game thus far, sitting in the Galaxy box most recently, and he reportedly was at the Los Dos game last night. I suspect he even may be working for the Galaxy already in some unofficial advisory capacity, probably advising Pete, who he coached at UCLA and LA. Razov was also on his staff at Seattle, so there would be continuity. I don't know if Sigi would be the best to manage this collection of personalities, but he's the most likely candidate to offer a quick fix option.

 

I think the best choice is just a little south of the border

 

Sigi is exactly the type of predictable hiring that Klein and co. are capable of.

 

Which doesn't in and of itself make that a bad choice.

 

Sigi wouldn't be an exciting pick but he's definitely a good coach and of course knows MLS inside/out. And unlike Curt, Sigi's teams have won a lot more than they lost. It was probably time for a change in Seattle but he also got screwed by getting fired a game or two before the cavalry arrived in the form of Lodeiro.

If JK becomes coach I'm finding a new team to support. I don't want to wear out my remote mute button.

 

I think JK is just a little behind Sigi

 

Anyone else think Herrera could be a good choice?

 

Well, he'd be a lot more fun than Onolfo.

 

And he won't have any problem doing things his way. Personally, I think his way will be much much better that Curt, Sigi, and Bradley. He pretty much said he's up for the challenge.

 

I'll take anyone with pedigree at this point. It can't get any worse then the current dis-organization on the field. Only question is how long Klein takes.

I still like Berhalter - but obviously too late for this season.

 

Careful what you wish for. Frank Yallop has pedigree, Galaxy connections, and is newly-available.

BREAKING: Frank Yallop has resigned as @PHXRisingFC Head Coach Search for new boss to begin immediately. http://uslsoc.cr/2oowkBK

 

Piojo would be interesting. Maybe he could get the best out of Gio?

I like Sigi. If the change comes this month, than Sigi is my pick over Bob.

We could place Razov as interim with the understanding that we're looking for a permanent replacement come summer.

Never JK.

 

Yallop would be worse than Onalfo--possibly much worse

 

I don't think that is possible.

(And no, I don't want Yallop anywhere close to our team. Been there, done that and sure as hell don't want to do it again.)

 

I've said once I'll say it again, get me Claudio Ranieri! The man can take Leicester City to the premier league title with (by EPL standards a shoe string budget and cast offs) then the man can do absolutely better than Onalfo! Get me someone with football pedigree not MLS ties. If Onalfo is still in charge in August when we play ATL FC it will be the first time I concede defeat before the match, there is no way and I mean no way in hell Curt out coaches Tata Martino it will be ugly we will be massacred. There is no hope as long as that clown is the manager of the club.

 

No JK. Bradley for sure but if not, maybe Sigi. Sorry for my ignorance, but who is Herrera?

 

Coaches TJ now. Won MX title a couple years ago with América and coached the Mexican NT in between.

Gotta say I do like his passion.
