Your top 5 coaching candidates for the Chicago Fire.

Arsene Wenger

(you didn't say realistic candidates!)

 

If Bob Bradley is available I would grab him in a heartbeat

Although the thought of making Waldo put his money where his mouth is is interesting

 

Frank Klopas.

The reason we went on a winning streak last year co-insided with Frank Klopas working with the team in practices.

 

Jose Mourinho.....or Mike Ditka

 

None of our assistants inspire me, nor does former assistant Tommy Soehn that everyone wanted when he went to help Nowak

 

Yes, I understand the implications, but I must say that I sincerely believe that George Best would be an improvement.

 

you have intrigued me. I'd be willing to see what he can do. Can't be worse than Sarachan.

I have to say the thought of making Waldo put his money where his mouth is intrigues me as well. At the very least you get the feeling he'd be more attack minded than Sarachan.

 

Frank Klopas, hands down. He knows this team can win, he believes in them, understands their strengths and would definitely be the man to unleash them.

I don't think Frank would ever utter the statements "We don't need another goal" or "One point on the road is good" to the press, let alone his team.

 

Intriguing list.

I never thought I word read the words "Jorge Campos" and "Chicago Fire" in the same sentence ever again. He is an assistant with the Mexican National Team, so he has a certain pedigree. Interesting.

Bob Bradley and Piotr Nowak are no brainers. If either of them become available, either of them should be brought in to straighten out the team. Or, perhaps, both Bob Bradley as GM and Nowak as coach.

Wynalda. A terrific choice. He has often said that his year with the Fire was by far the best year he had in MLS and that it was the "best run, most professional organization" (an almost direct quote from a conversation I had with him while he was with the Fire). I don't think that quote is applicable anymore, but maybe Wynalda could change it.

Wynalda could be great, or he could be train wreck. Either way, it would be interesting and just imagine the press conferences.

Bolowich. Don't know anything about him, but I doubt a coach straight from the college ranks is the best way to go.

Obviously, people (myself definitely included as I have stated on other threads) have been pushing for Frank Klopas. Frank would be great as well.

I would also add Lubos Kubik into the mix. He knows the team, had some connection to the team until recently. He has head coaching experience (albeit, unsuccessfully).

If we were to go "outside of the organization" (that is, someone who has no previous connection to the Fire), I would go for John Harkes. Great player, great "soccer mind", really understands the game and the league. Always seemed to conduct himself professionally. International experience, assistant coaching experience. Definite headcoach material.

 

co-inside - is that like when I stuff 2 rubber dicks in yer mama?

Or did you mean coincide?

 

We don't have enough $$ from him to be successful. He only shines with unlimited funds. I'd hire him to scrub the crappers though.

 

How about Chris Armas as player coach this year and full time coach next year.

But my number 1 would be Peter Nowak, and number 1a would be Bob Bradley.

 

This is what gives a-holes a bad name.

I did'nt write coincide ya blind bat, I wrote co-insided. Next time I'll put it in quotes so you don't have to be a little bi-tch about it.

 

I was under the impression Campos and Blanco don't get along. I'd say bring Bradley or Nowak if there's a new nats coach.

 

I think you meant 'buy-thc', right?

 

C'mon - it's mothers day, I had to mention yer mama!!!

 

Hmmm i would be willing to give Frank a chance

 

You guys need to relax, plenty of soccer left in MLS.

 

Did you watch the game yesterday?

 

He's not even a good captain.

 

Agreed, especially in light of this weekend.

 

He did'nt make the trip.

and that was Dave's decision.

We also played Dave's gameplan, and it sucked.
