Apparently any optimism for him stems from his time as assistant to Julian Nagelsmann at Hoffenheim. At this level, I'd much rather have talent on the field than on the sideline anynway. Moreso, since our players last longer than our coaches lately. I'm not sure it's a good move, since we'll need consistency to reach promotion, but an experienced coach willing to take a BL2 job might have been worse and certainly would have been temporary. Then I remember Wolf was just as temporary - brought in after the start of the 2016 season, and was axed halfway through his first Bundesliga season after earning us promotion the year before. Change is the only constant. Who is Stuttgart’s new American head coach?

Yeah, only by a point. That's a mighty close shave! And I hope they are not screwing up by coming back to practice too soon!
