Yeah, I guess you wouldn't want any assistant coaches who have actually won a ring to be around to help show the Metros what it takes to actually win one. Personally, I think this is a good move, both for the Metros and the league. You get a young assistant with a great resume - Rangers, Celtic, the Premier League, World Cup, plus what he did in MLS - who is now familiar with American players, our system and MLS. He's tough, articulate and qualified and will likely be a good head coach someday. These are the kind of people we need to have in positions of influence. What's up with the rest of Bob's staff? Is Johnston the first assistant he's hired? Is he going to retain any of Octavio's lieutenants and will be bring any of his for Fire assistants with him to Jersey?
Oh come on, I think we all agree that Merlin must stay. He might be OZ's lieutenant, but he does have a catchy name.
From having looked at the official website Merlin seems to be staying...I think Mo will be a good fit. He has the SCOTTISH INTENSTITIE FOR FITBA!
How come KC managed to let him slip away. I thought he's put down roots there? I think Gansler missed the boat, and I'm glad to see Mo on board for Metro.
