Sounds like another move for Jim-Probably more $ incentive and opportunity for him elsewhere. He's worked with quite a few clubs over the years and with the Timbers as a player and on coaching staff, so no surprise if he has accepted a new position.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

1 down,many to go. J.R. is knowledgeable but a first class butt. Not sorry to see him go. I hope our board see's this as the first step to cleaning out the house. Not much motivation passed on by the long term coaching staff. No tears here.Comment

4 strikes your out.
Since 2006 I've heard this guy has been fired no less than 4x at 4 different clubs.
FC PDX, LOSC, WUSC & ESUFC.
No matter what I've heard this doesn't look good.Comment

Im going to guess there is 1 of 2 things happening with this move:
1) Jim is getting a full-time spot with OYSA to head up this new Timbers/OYSA gig.
or
2) Jim has got picked up for a job with a USL or NASL club.Comment

Reality
Neither 1 or 2 has happened.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Only choice #3 took place.
3) Abruptly terminated at Eastside United Soccer Club.
Nice try and wishful thinking. DealComment
