This is like the Tennis Coach hire.

It's a story of redemption...... SFA becomes "second chance U" for coaches.

I know, it's an interesting strategy by Ivey.

It's so Moneyball

Do we have a plan for facilities?

Yes. Soccer is pretty low on the list. We'll find out how the fundraising goes for the 100th anniversary.

ummm.....good hire? 2 seasons, his teams went winless in conference play. Gonna wait on this one...and cross my fingers and toes.

I'm sure we'll be competitive in soccer regardless. Will we win conference championships soon? I doubt it. Not until we have a place for the girls to play with a dressing room and bathrooms. Simply can't win recruiting battles with ZERO facilities.

What happened to the $50k put into the locker room a few years ago?

It's an interesting hire. Honestly, I don't have a clue how to assess a soccer coach candidate.

My guess, looking at his background, is with his experience on the club and Olympic development level that Ivey was going after someone for development rather than a strategist?

Maybe one of our soccer fans can weigh in on it.

Were we not winning recruiting battles with the previous coach when we were winning championships?

Exactly. Why hire a retread?

If you couldn't get it done with Big XII resources, good luck here!

Post on Facebook looks like soccer is getting some updates/upgrades.

Beyond the grandstands that have been planned for a few months, I don't know what it might be. Season tickets should go on sale before too long.

I didn't know coach was a Marine.
