no PT for Zach or Daigo. Wright played the whole game, Femi got about 15-20 minutes. Both show why they are in USL and not MLS. Hartford with a 4-0 win in front of about 200 fans. Big loss for B'ham as there are teetering on the line to make the playoffs
Just an fyi/finer distinction - it was on ESPNNews on my provider (a channel I dont have access to). (Not on ESPN main channel)
Tarzan! BREAKING: The Kickers have appointed @Dtarzan66 Sporting Director & Head Coach ahead of the 2020 @USLLeagueOne seasonRead: https://t.co/8dCbIIUagK #RVAisRed pic.twitter.com/kUQdSyOG8W— Richmond Kickers 🦘 (@RichmondKickers) November 6, 2019
Good to see an Original Rev still involved in the game. The Richmond Kickers have to be one of the longest surviving lower division teams (that didn't get promoted). Rob Ukrop (another 1996er) played for them both before and after the Revs.
I believe the saying goes "weighing his options and exploring future opportunities." Just like anyone who is unemployed is a "consultant."
Wolde Harris was interim head coach of Colorado Spring Switchbacks for the last few months. Has been assistant there since 2015. https://lastwordonsoccer.com/2019/0...rris-switchbacks-can-still-make-the-playoffs/
Maybe, but it could also be that he realized that the peak of his soccer career would be either as a very borderline MLS player or a USL player. And while that's a higher level than any of us could hope for, maybe he decided that riding the buses in the USL and playing on divot-filled high-school fields for not much money had gotten old. Maybe getting a "real" job somewhere and be the best damn player in his local league seemed like a better plan.

Well this is surprising... news on our favorite xcoach Brad https://ncesoccer.com/brad-friedel-joins-nce-soccer/ Kind of a big step backwards IMO
In the #NERevs "Where are they now?" category, an unexpected thread re: Chase Hilgenbrick. https://t.co/0gsZu7icj3— A Casual Fan (@A_Casual_Fan) February 18, 2020
So, this story is, um, wide ranging. It is an interesting read especially for those fans who experienced "L'Epoch du Jones" with #NERevs, Indirectly may give more perspective re: team dynamics during successful 2014. How much "fear of Jermaine" went into that season result? https://t.co/oT87jME36U— A Casual Fan (@A_Casual_Fan) February 21, 2020
Here's a little more backstory re: the nutty "AR-15 and restraining orders" part of the story. It's really not at all a normal, everyday soccer new item. https://t.co/chwfTgE6zG— A Casual Fan (@A_Casual_Fan) February 21, 2020
It's fascinating to think about him as a pro coach - He's too larger-than-life for the constraints of a technical area. It would be interesting to see what results he could extract from a pro team roster. But - he's been accumulating quite a lot of baggage/noise... ...it seems that he's been steadily reducing the odds that anyone will take a chance on him for a coaching gig.
In this country (which seems to be a requirement of his, at least while his kids are still young). I think there's a lot of truth in his comments about US Soccer and US soccer players. If he got a coaching job here, I think it would end up just like it did with Friedel - US players are just not going to put up with his kind of demands.
Every time I hear the phrase "With all due respect..." I think of Paulie Walnuts trying to tell Tony Soprano something he doesn't want to hear. I was a Jones fan when he was here, and thought that he was the real catalyst behind the revival of 2014. It must have been awkward with Heaps, but Jay probably figured Jones knew a lot and if he could channel his energy and influence the right way, they both would be successful. I wish him well, but the whole thing with his party concierge business combined with being a coach of a pro team (even USL) seems to be at odds.
I think everything he said about LA is spot on - everyone's playing a role; it's as artificial as it gets.
