Never had a chance. He was part of the problem!

Back to recruiting local players to rebuild the younger ages at Ceossfire.

My guess is an all female coaching staff will be hired. With the issues they had, it’s a no brainer to go to an all female coaching staff. The existing players must be jumping for joy with the news of this stellar hire!

Kevin is a good man. Doesn't deserve this and was well liked at OSU. Go grind your ax somewhere else.

No brainer? So they can be destined for mediocrity?

One wonders if the new coaching staff sought recommendations from Rochelle Hearns.

Great hire. Great person. Hopefully will pick a good new staff. I agree that female assistants would be nice but anyone new for a fresh start. Personally like KL a lot but his downfall is undue favoritism to his own club players. Can’t blame him because they are like family since he has coached them and been with their families for years. Crossfire needs him back and should give him a raise to build them back up again.

I wouldn’t doubt it. I bet the new coach is watching the Ecnl playoffs…

You mean the ECNL playoffs in which the CU03 girls--supposedly one of the greatest teams ever assembled in Oregon--are getting greased like a Harley?

(True, they're still doing better than the Thorns at the older HS ages, but still.... having all the former GDA clubs back makes a difference!)

I’m sorry what other OR teams are performing even remotely close to this? Yeah. No one. Thorns? Ha! They sent two age groups one of which had their so cal recruited pawn scoring enough goals to get them there and the other finished third in the region. Still not sure how they even got there. Sorry your club never had an opportunity to even think about competing nationally.

Competing in a watered down league. Competing nationally is a joke. Clubs everywhere are playing teams outside of their state and region.

Crossfire 03 wouldn’t even win usys regionals let alone nationals.

It’s all smoke and mirrors. Pretty sure CU 03 team is no better than the other random above average teams from Oregon. All doormats.

You just sound like the biggest idiot paying to get killed.

The difference is the Thorns rosters aren’t full of D1 and Pac 12 commits and even a sophomore college player from University of Portland. Thorns aren’t expected to do better. Crossfire is.

The two oldest Crossfire teams are almost all already committed to their D1 schools or close enough that the coaches aren’t watching the fiasco in Florida too closely so it doesn’t really matter how they play. The bad news is the ones committed to P5 and other top programs are getting completely dominated in these games even against other losing teams. If not for outstanding keeper play and some luck, the scores would’ve been more like 10-0 instead of 5-0. The Pac 12 will be leagues more difficult, faster, stronger and more skilled.

It’s a sad state for all of us that Oregon’s best teams are doing so poorly. Is this the beginning of the downward slump of Crossfire or will KL go back and build it back stronger? Oregon can and should do better, regardless of which club has the current top teams. How can we fix it?

How many OYSA teams advanced out of regionals? Answer: Two boys teams. Watered down league, or now tougher league with GDA teams back? You look like the bigger idiot.
