No one would say it on the record but Steve wasn’t liked within the club for a very long time. I predict the half-hoops go on a good run now just to show what/who the problem was with this squad.

They did the right thing. Morrow looked lost, the team had no pep, and Denilson (largely panned on this site) is coming off a massive season in Brazil where he apparently had something left to offer and is now a league champion. i was done watching them get beat like a rented mule to lousy teams.

We should have waited till after the 3 matches in 8 days to fire Morrow. Way to show no panic there FO. Things are going to get a lot worse before they get any better.

I think a coach will come first because Hitch won’t be hiring the TD, HSG will be.

Wagner did not look great in the first half and was lifted at halftime. Shea came in late and looked good. He’s been great in training and was pressing for PT before he left, and of course before Morrow got fired.

How knows what will happen with a new coach.

Could you ask Hitch if the coach or TD is likely to be hired first?
Ives Galarcep said that Wagner got pwned on and Brek Shea rocked (not a direct quote). Do think Brek will be seeing more of the field pretty soon?

It could be that Ibbe’s coming back from time to time, but I have not seen him. When they tell me someone is missing for personal reason I tend not to pry to much. I try to respect their privacy.

I was wondering about Ibbys’ “sabbatical” as well. Does anyone (not team related) know exactly?

I think it was your Coach Translator bits that got him canned.

Buzz, any speculation on when we’ll see Ibrahim again? I know he wasn’t penciled into be a major contributor to this team, but from what we were hearing in pre-season, he seemed to be on the cusp.

I can’t imagine that all this time away does anything for his development, unless he’s in some sort of double-secret training camp in Europe…

Just because someone is Generation Adidas doesn’t necessarily mean they are better, I think it is about time Daniels gets a shot after starting every reserve game the past two years, and when he has far more upside then Dello Russo or Pitchkolan
