    Its a big mess. I'm not liking this at all. Many MLS teams refuse to sign respected coaches worldwide or former mls player who's been working in their coaching license and who at least have coaching experience as an assistant coach. Otherwise, we are turning this league into a "joke". Just my two cents. MLS teams should not be permitted to do this type of stupid mistakes. Credibility does not come free. We all have to pay taxes, but obviously MLS does not believe in this.

    JLG, welcome to the land of the "free market", in the end the best people will get the job until they are fired for poor performance...pretty standard stuff.

    KC-Onalfo

    DC-Soehn
    Toronto-Johnston
    Dallas-Morrow
    RSL-Kreis
    Houston-Kinnear
    Galaxy-Yallop

    8 of 13 coaches in the league played in the league

    The others have all been pretty successful with the exception of Clavijo really. Nicol, Arena, and Sigi all had success before getting their current jobs.

    And even Clavijo got the Rapids to 2 straight Western Conf. finals appearances so far (not to mention the fact that he helped build the foundation for the Revs' current success, too).

    Why blame MLS? It's the individual I/Os who are making these decisions.

    Your team's winning and you're still bitching. Just shut up, please.

    MLS teams should not be 'permitted'? The league should handle all personnel decisions? Wow, then we're back to stagnant parity, and the league making unfair rule-changes to fit one team. Just go crawl back under your rock.

    I agree. I think coaches like Bora Milutinovic, Carlos Alberto Perreira, and Carlos Quieroz would do wonders for this league...

    I think Shaydee pretty much summed up the fact Juan Louis is a retard and does no homework before he makes some absurd post..

    Didnt Arena also get his start in MLS with DC United, thats how he got the USMNT job?

    Of the above coaches, Clavijo, Johnston and Morrow seem to be lagging behind the rest.

    First explain how Souness got a second chance in the Premiership, then come complain about MLS.

    So I guess the EPL is joke because of Gareth Southgate and the CCC because of Keane. . .

    MLS need coaches that are able to work and develop young players, this is a young league and we really need help in the coaching department:rolleyes:

    In another 10 years probably all MLS coaches will be x MLS players. It's logical to hire someone that is familiar with the strange MLS salary cap and player acquisition rules. Also x MLS players are also often times x USMNT players, so that helps streamline player development.

    The day that some team decides to take a chance on a foreign based coach and ends up winning MLS cup, I'm sure others will follow.

    It's different at the international level. All National teams function pretty much the same. You have a finite number of players in your pool that you research, and you build your squad. Then you have a certain number of qualifiers that you play, and hopefully a WC. It works pretty much the same way in Asia as it does in Europe or anywhere else.

    But the mechanics of MLS is very different then the mechanics of virtually all other leagues in the world. This means that the prospective coach needs to do a lot of research to master the mechanics of this league.

    An MLS team is very much like a Colaship or Serie B team in that you have to manage a very limited budget. If you notice in Europe, most small clubs hire local coaches because they have a better understanding of how to maximize their limited budget. People like Mourinho, Wenger, Rijkaard, Capello can make the jump because they have a big enough budget that they can build their preferred all star team. This means they don't have to work with the Pat Noonans and Jeff Larentowiczes of the world.

    It is evident that coaches with large budgets are not really coaches....But there are this select group of coaches that are able to motivate, fit and coordinate a team without any heavy expense. That the kind of coach that MLS need to sough

    It wasn't his team until they signed Juan Pablo Angel. He was boycotting them prior to that because Bruce Arena was racist against hispanics. This guy's posts are always a joke.

    In the 2 years he was referring to Calvijo being a success, he was a .500 coach or worse.

    That's not having good seasons, is it?
