Yeah, I fail to see what a new coach would get out of the existing roster. We just dumped one of our better midfielders (CCJ), our top scorer from last year has barely played all year (Lewis Morgan) and our $5M big offseason signing to fix the offense is scoring goals at about half the pace per 90' than Brian White is at.
Until we get better ingredients, no chef is turning Wal-mart pasta into a Michelin starred Italian restaurant.
I'd rather have a young American on his way up than another European looking for a start to his HC career. Jim Curtain had 3 losing seasons in his first 3 full years to start his career. Since then he's like 38 games over .500. Not saying Troy will replicate that, but, switching managers every 18 months doesn't seem to be working for us, and we were doing that 20 plus years ago as well. Unless you are bringing in an INTL top talent like Tata Martino, give the American a chance, let him learn and grow, then see what you've got.
This guy can cut his teeth in Portugal. No thank you.
