Villanova

Love it. Those idiot posters don't even know the credentials of the coach they chased away. Good luck to the new coach. She will need it.

The coach was fired for poor performance and for poor conduct. Locally he has not done anything as a club coach either. Change was made and Villanova will be better for it.

Not the other poster and do not disagree about prior coach's poor performance but to not know the coach's background when elevating the credentials of the new coach (and Ohio State was successful while he was there; from a record view) is dopey.

Just move forward with new coach. She seems very good; although a little surprised they did not go with a more prestigious conf pick. Prov is just as nice as Nova as far as selling school. Several BE teams were in NCAA. St John's had a good run. A recognized name for coach would have helped. I was holding out for Cromwell. (Jk)

The kids happy will stay; those that aren't will not. Program will be fine.

No one said he was HC in Ohio. Said he was P5 coach. They gave glowing testimonials about him.
Don't you know what asst coaches do?

CM had been an asst at osu for less than two years and didn’t recruit the players who had a good year while he was there. Before that he was at Colgate (a school that plays in a conference comparable to the big south), starting as a volunteer asst in 2004, working his way up to assoc head coach, and staying there for 9 years, with his prior experience in D3. Azem has five years as a D1 head coach (with an NCAA tourney bid and a conference title), three years as a d2 head coach, and a number of years as a D1 and d2 assistant. Her prior experience seems to be more extensive and substantial, although CM looked decent on paper as well.

Exactly. She has a stronger resume coming in then CM did.

For the record, nobody chased him away. The initial complaint came from staff within the athletic department.

So are you alleging that every recruit is a good recruit (so all kudos to those that merely pick) or that the coaches instrumental in their actual college success get some fist bumps? It is harder to get them to actually pan out.

The post was confusing. OSU is oklahoma state university (a storied p5 big12 program). Ohio State is Ohio State.

They are completely different styles of play, coaches, etc. Carry on rookies.

Btw colgate when he was there was a soccer powerhouse. Know your soccer history posters.

Exactly. But you can't make good players if they think they are but really aren't. Mia's. He allowed that to happen at Villanova, especially with the last few yr recruits.

Hahahaha. When you feel you hit a wall, you leave. Have you never moved to a new job?

I know, right? Too much.

Yep. Did not play up to expectations. You can't make a player very good if they really are not. A lot of jealousy by the mia's toward actual better players. Entitled brat crap made worse by entitled enabling parents.

She stepped into a hornet's nest with this place. This isn't the polite and well mannered south (kids and parents). I truly wish her all the best.

Would love to know exactly what he did to get him canned with 3 games left. It’s also concerning he is still coaching an ECNL team with young girls, if his behavior warranted him getting fired from a college level team. Hopefully ECNL is investigating.

Soccer powerhouse???? Would love to know what other programs you consider soccer powerhouses. Colgate head coach left and McLain interviewed for the job, the school didn’t give it to him, hence why he went to Ohio state as an assistant, forcing his wife to give up her head coaching job at Utica ( you probably think they are a soccer powerhouse as well)

Ohio State is and always has been referred to as OSU as a shorthand. Sometimes tOSU because of the “The” before their name and the insecurities that dictate using it. Oregon State and Oklahoma State are also widely referred to as OSU for obvious reasons. Yes, CM was at Ohio State for a bit and I don’t think anyone ever thought he was at either of the other OSU’s.

It may be a completely school/team related issue that isn't a problem with his club team. Besides you will never a legit version of the story on here.
