Of course not, we now realize he was in the market for a 2-3 million pound contract at an EPL club, smart, since there are a lot of coaching changes happening, at Villa too one tier down. All these clubs are going to pay way over our capacity, we have to be thinking about another profile of coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Disappointed we didn't hold firm and play for the draw tbh. Gameplan was working in the first half. We simply imploded and fell to pieces in the second half. An unhappy camper here. FINDLAY OUT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Its so sad that I can't even tell if this is sarcasm. It would be a legit response by Floro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Seriously, it is amazing what we can do when we are encouraged to play attacking footy. Lost opportunity this cycle. Gah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I get the jokes and all, but sometimes you play well precisely because there is nothing to play for, at all. Because you have zero pressure and the tension is off. Funny, Findlay says we need to play away or at home, under pressure always, but the best result in recent years was in neither of those circumstances. IMO we were not objectively better than in other matches, but the rival was a lot worse than when we first faced them, wonder what happened with them?

Also, I'd add that had they scored their PK in the first half it could have been a really different story. We could have easily lost again.. it's just one of those things where we came out to play early in the second half, they didn't and it was game over from there. We really weren't good at all in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Dos Santos but not even close to ready for the national team job. He needs at least 10 more years of success as a coach at a higher level than NASL. He should not even be on the list of potential candidates at this point (though the same could be said for a lot of others being named on various lists).

shermanator Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Dos Santos is likely the best option if the CSA choose to sign a domestic coach, but I agree that he is not ready to coach the national team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ref Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Experience is an asset, but also relative. Look at all the experience Floro had and he bombed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Narcotic Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I would fully support dos Santos. Successful, knows the region and knows the player pool. Give him the U-20s as well to keep him occupied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrue17 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I think the lack of experience might not be so bad in our current state. We tried the experienced, let me use my old game planning and fizzed out. Fearless and fresh idea's and strategy may be just what is needed. I'm not saying I want someone coming in and implementing ridiculous off the board tactics but maybe someone that doesn't over think it and is a players coach (which I would guess Dos Santos is) could be good.

matty Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 For everyone saying maybe "we don't need so much experience" because Floro failed. Please stop. Having someone who has a decent amount MLS or CONCACAF coaching experience should be viewed as a must for Canada's next hire and dos Santos, while OK, isn't near what is needed right now and shouldn't be viewed as de facto #1 Canadian contender for the gig.

Lodeweges and Van't Schip should both be considered better domestic options than Dos Santos at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd exclude Van't Schip and maybe add Watson. Great deal of experience coaching with the CanMNT and in MLS but he's also a little too green like dos Santos.

The guy actually has head coaching experience, something Watson is mostly lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 There are several parts to this hiring including the other positions that get hired with it. Should people like Dos Santos be involved? Absolutely, but not as head coach. Does De Vos have the experience and credentials to really do his job? Time will tell. Again I think that former players or not that have worked through coaching qualifications and have both a passion and something to offer to growing canadian soccer should be involved. I'd just like us to be hiring a few proven bodies to work with our Canadian coaches and admin. The head coach should be someone everyone can look to for experience and guidance and really setting up the program going forward for the next decade. It's a massive hire and we have to go all in to lure the right person for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
