Greg Ryan fired
By VictorM: Back in September 28, 2007 I said that Greg Ryan, the coach of the US Women's soccer team, should be fired. Today, I was granted my wish.Back then I said: Should Greg Ryan, the USA coach, be fired? Yes! Not because he's a bad coach. In fact, his record with the USA is excellent. But this move [replacing Hope Solo with Brianna Scully] justifies my belief that national team coaches should be replaced with certain frequency. The reason being that since they are not the ones dealing up close with new players, like club coaches do, they tend to revert back to the ones they are most familiar with. This was Bruce Arena's downfall when he selected the men's team for 2006, and the team proved too slow and too old for the task. And it was the case now with Ryan.
Kristine Lilly, at age 36, and Briana Scully, also at age 36, wonderful as they were in their prime, have no business still being part of the US national team. There a lot of wonderful young talent out there. It's time to call on them. And mister Ryan was not doing it.
The search for a new coach has began. I hope they choose wisely.
