Buried near the bottom of this article on the official site http://redbull.newyork.mlsnet.com/n...t_id=127894&vkey=news_rbn&fext=.jsp&team=t107 is the statement that Agoos' job is being eliminated but that he will be considered for the sporting director position that had been half of The Bruce's job. Also, that he will be in charge of the expansion draft process.
RB still needs someone with knowledge of MLS intricasies and how to handle them. Who else in the organization, besides Agoos, knows this?
Well I think RBNY needs to decide between Agoos, RWilliams and Harkes...have one of them serve in the sporting director role and handle the big name Euro coach. Perhaps in an ideal world, one becomes sporting director and another sits on the bench with the new coach.
Every ********ing year it's like rooting for a new team. The only consistent thing about our franchise is its inconsistency.
And we think Agoos "knows this" exactly why? No offense meant here, but I think the main problem with RB was that they had guys who didn't know talent and couldn't scout, well......scouting and evaluating talent. =NLK=
i see it all the time in the ODP level there are coaches there who think they know soccer but they really dont that was our problem we need a guy who will travel the world and will study the players a pick them up if there good enough.... to look at a player its just like a byopsy (or however you spell it) with dead people.... thats how you have to scan each element of the player.... other then that you cant call yourself a evaluator i like nowak as our head coach will do a fine job at that.... and plus he will have a great draft because he knows the players.... hes the u23 coach so i say we need nowak running the operation here
We have always been poor on scouting and evaluating foreign talent for the most part. seems like our old ideas of scouting , going back to Metrostars was someone telling our coach this guy is good, ,etc.
Wow! This "situation" seems kind of strange. Jeff Agoos just watched the guy that hired him get fired. The boss says Jeff will get an "opportunity" to interview (read: see you later). Agoos is good friends with Frank Yallop, who just "happens" to be picking an expansion player from NY, whom lame duck Agoos gets to expose. Hmmm........as a SJ fan, I like this setup. Hopefully, Yallop calls up Agoos and tells him which player we want!
Yeah, I know. Still, Agoos will be on the short list to be an assistant coach under Yallop in SJ. Seems like a conflict of interest.
J.A. yes yes i think he mite go and be a assistant in SJ but there are other people also that that probably make the decisions on who stays too and who goes in the draft.... yes kova mite go to SJ but i wouldnt be suprised if that happends but i think we shouldnt protect reyna.... SJ can take him for free we will hand you him on a platinum plater
