Millennials are the worst.

Murillo isn't a millennial. 23 year olds are now classified as Gen Z.


In Topic: Thierry Henry linked to RB coaching role

I don't want a guy to be our head coach who doesn't have a track record of success as a head coach (ideally at MLS or higher level). Much as I love Titi, I think the jury is still out on his managerial skills. He's very motivational. Has tremendous skills. But we've seen a lot of guys who were great players not really succeed as managers, and I'm putting Klinsi in this bucket as well. I have a feeling he expects a ton from his players, but doesn't understand why they can't perform at his level. We saw that from him as a player. Not sure what went on with him at Monaco, but it didn't last long, which doesn't bode well.

 

Not against Titi one day, just think that Woly has earned that shot. Or, someone of a higher caliber. I don't need to fall in love with the name of the coach, I just want the most talented guy we can get. 

Most great players turn out to be terrible coaches. I like Titi and if nothing else he would make this season worth watching for the entertainment value of watching him explode on the sidelines, but there have to be better options.

Theres no real reason to care about winning the first few games of the MLS season. The only reason to play starters I can see is to get the match fit and build cohesion.

I agree with the approach of resting our starters this weekend, but the change in playoff format (single-elimination games at the higher seed's stadium) makes early regular season games more meaningful IMO.

Will he be the first player to get a statue outside the stadium of a former team based on business metrics instead of sporting merit?

 

Who should get the Metro/Red Bull business metrics statue?  I would say Henry but he is more deserving of a statute based on his play in MLS than Beckham.  Henry was the best player in the league when he was here, Beckham was not even the best player on his team.

Erik Stover?

Great, he was important to MLS. Build him a statue at MLS HQ. To build a statue of him before guys like Donovan, Keane or hell Bruce Arena is embarrassing.
