I’m hoping they’ve narrowed down the search to a few candidates and now that we’ve qualified for Copa we can move forward rather quickly on this front. Not disagreeing but I wasnt sure how active this search was. My understanding is they want to bring in a headhunting firm and thats tough to do without the paremeters that @Watchmen referenced. I do hope there has been some qualification checks tho! Unnamed Trialist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoops__ Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) I guess we’ll see how active it was in due time. I just can’t see them letting Biello continue as interim must longer one way or the other. Not fair to anyone. Edited March 26 by jhoops__ Shway and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bair would definitely get some big minutes and we probably need to call up Noble Okello to make his system work. (I know he has run different stuff lately but if I acknowledged that, it wouldn't be much a joke, would it?) Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's a short list, but at the same time I suspect there's possibly new candidate of interest *because* we qualified for the Copa. They should still accelerate the process though. jhoops__ and Borjans Sweatpants 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtlMario Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Maybe I have a soft spot in my heart for Mauro as I have seen him grow up with the Impact at Claude Robillard stadium coming in the final 10-15 minutes of the game at the beginning of his career in the 90's (his speed really stood out). That's why I wouldn't mind him staying as assistant coach (being familiar with the players) if he's not kept and we get a new coach. Now if he wants or the new coach wants is another story. johnyb, gigi riva, Sal333 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 1 hour ago, Ally McCoist said: I saw that in Sport or El Periódico today, and thought the same thing. We could hire him for Copa, but we'd have to pay him half a million. Half a milion for the friendlies, Copa, then let him decide. As a gesture of good will. Then he'd help us leverage the friendlies at home to generate revenue. And of course his presence would attract sponsors, interest from outside. We probably do not have more than a million for that post, and we don't have enough for his assistants. Too bad, it'd be a fun ride. cornerkick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This so similar to the west coast sentiment that had many embracing Dale Mitchell against all reason, even after poor results with the U20s.

I was one who loved him as a player, and had my own west coast bias, but still felt that the 05 and 07 results demonsrated he had no business coaching the MNT. He was in charge of all three, right? johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In qualifying we topped a group that included Mexico. That was actually the last time Canada has ever qualified for the U20 World Cup too, sadly. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_CONCACAF_U-20_Tournament It was only after the 2007 U20 World Cup debacle that Mitchell complaints started to grow.

Don't think he measures up to Mauro Biello in experience terms given Biello has coached in MLS and at U-20 national team level. CSA and CSB aren't best buds any more so the Forge angle is less likely to be helpful to his cause than it might have been four or five years ago when a McMaster University prof would have been a key part of the decision making process. 14 hours ago, Bigandy said: Not disagreeing but I wasnt sure how active this search was.

Also begs the question why they would need to wait for a new CEO if they were going to do it through a headhunting process that the CSA board could use to do all the legwork that they can't do between their meetings.

Kadenge Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Btw Biello was not Herdman's right hand man as Wheeler mentioned. That was Eric Tenllado, the tactical guy on the coaching team. JH used to confer with ET a lot during games. I rarely ever saw him consulting with Biello. Just saying.

The fact that Herdman brought Tenllado (and almost the entire CanMNT staff) with him to TFC but left Biello behind speaks to this point.
