Not the best method for building an expansion franchise. You are correct to point out that it is the coach's responsibility to make certain that his players are ready to play, individually and collectively. But Ellinger should also be held to account for the players he has brought into the RSL set-up: too many divas and too many diapers.

God I loved listening to that man almost as much as I hated the team played. To stay on topic I don't really see any positives to keeping Ellinger.

For me, the proof that Ellinger was in trouble was his refusal to accept the alternative answer for what Nowak allegedly said. He heard something, made up his mind, and refused to listen to a rational explanation. If a manager - either of a sports team, a corporation, or a country - takes that approach, he is doomed to failure. Anyway, on our <a href="http://podcast.screaming-eagles.com" rel="nofollow">blog</a>, we've got a poll to see who will be the first MLS coach fired. Thanks for putting us in your blogroll. I've reciprocated. I, too, thought Ellinger would be a good choice, until I saw the U-17s and realized that his entire game plan consisted of “Hoof it to Freddy.”

And I was also one who thought he'd be a good choice. But such foolishnes is why the phrase "young and stupid" was invented. I remember that too. And I was also one who thought he’d be a good choice.

I was one of the misguided making that cry. Thank God it never happened. Ellinger should stick to the kiddos.
