Toronto began the season with seven straight road games. They won three of those games, and if the season were to end today would be in the playoffs. They won both of their last two games, posting shutouts in each, the last one without their starting goalkeeper. They head home this weekend for the first time. I don't call that an implosion. I'm all in! Go, Red! |

I had not thought about Toronto from that perspective. That is a
very good away record indeed... |

You are correct nothing is imploding in Toronto, They are actually doing pretty good. At the same time Toronto seems to be like the whales graveyard of coaches. |

Another update
Ratings 1 completely safe to 10, the villain pushes the button, the car seat explodes through the roof of the car, no there is parachute, just a brief trip over the cliff and into the crystal blue Aegean Sea or slate grey Patomic River.
Portland, Caleb Porter 5- Down from 7, two wins puts them back in the race, the last win was without about half a dozen key players.
Chicago, Frank Yallop 3- Down from 5, at this point Frank is relatively safe.
NYRB, Jesse Marsh 4- The Bulls have hit a rough patch. But who knows what the manual says.
Toronto, Greg Vanney 8- Govinco really delivers. He is almost singlehandedly backing the number down from 9.
Montreal, Frank Klopas 9- The team is crap on the road, not great at home and Saputo is nuts. Strange dynamic, up one from 8.
Philly, Jim Curtin, 9.9- same. "The horror."
Colorado, Pablo Maestroaenni's Mustache, 9.99- This moustache has won twice in 11 months.
Houston, Owen Coyle 5, hey Houston is playing, time for a cup of coffee.
Jason Kreis, NYFC, 5. Really bad record, now we see how Manchester will run this team. Up from 3.
Jeff Cassar, Salt Lake, 6. Salt Lake look pretty unconvincing. With the team below the red line... |

I think Curtin drops to 5 after recent results, shutouts of DC,
RBNJ and CMB now puts him on much better footing. |

I predict Philly wins Saturday, then loses three straight until
they get a win against Portland. |

It has been two months what has changed? not really all that much. I am surprised that these coaches have lasted as long as they have.
Ratings 1 completely safe to 10, the villain pushes the button, and the floor turns into a slide into the salt water where the victim is eaten by sharks with fricken lasers attached to their heads.
Portland, Caleb Porter 4- The Timbers are above the red line but look unconvincing.
Chicago, Frank Yallop 8- Strange thing, Yallop is a good coach, but his last few seasons have been huge stinkers. Now Chicago is at the bottom of the east again
NYRB, Jesse Marsh 3- Mike who?
Toronto, Greg Vanney 8- Geovinco is single-highhandedly destroying the east and carrying the team. What a better time to have rumors of a coaching change start to swirl, typical.
Montreal, Frank Klopas 8- The team is crap on the road, not great at home and Saputo is nuts, time to get some more Italians.
Philly, Jim Curtin, 9.99- By every measure this is the worst team in the league. They suck three ways, long, hard, and wicked.
Colorado, Pablo Maestroaenni 9.99- The mustache is gone, yet the horrible spectacle that is this Rapids season goes on.
Houston, Owen Coyle 5, hey Houston is playing, good, I'm ready for a nap.
Jason Kreis, NYFC, 4. Spending tons of cash up top will not solve a defense so leaky their theme song should be "My Heart Will GO On."
Jeff Cassar, Salt Lake, 6. A real mixed bag. Looks like a team trying to figure out who they are.
Diminic Kinnear,San Jose, 4. My guess is Kinnear will be given a year to straighten things out. |

I'm sorry but I think Sigi belongs on the list at
about 3 or 4.
Whether he deserves to or not, I think Curtin is
improving, perhaps to a 6 or 7.
For my money Porter should be up to 6 or 7. |

Completely agree with David regarding Sigi. He has been coaching
a Seattle team with very high expectations and solid rosters, always
with several star players, for six years now, without ever coming
close to deliver the end product. Being just a solid team is not
enough for Seattle anymore. It probably wasn't even enough two
seasons ago, when I think Sigi should have passed the torch to
someone else. He should do that after this season, even if the
miracle happened and they won the tournament. Maybe stay as GM,
as that is what I think he is actually good at: building rosters. As a
coach he is too rigid and settled on his regarding systems.
Porter is getting there at Portland... |

Philly worst team in the league? I think you mean Portland. |

Montreal could make a major move with a win over DC
Saturday, plus games in hand. |

Let's do the math, if philly is the worst team in the league and
they shut out the timbers this season 3-0 then that makes your
evaluation completely wrong. Try doing some research next
time. |

Alright, you asked for it.
Portland: 1.43 ppg (Good for 4th in the East)
Philly: 0.96 (Only team in MLS averaging less than a point per game)
Still gotta chance in Open Cup though. Maybe the Swiss guy will help. For Philly, I'd try and blood as many of the young/homegrown players they have on the roster for the rest of the season so they can build a core for next year. |

Also by that logic, FC Dallas would be 2nd to worse since they lost to Chicago last weekend (who were last on PPG before that match). Even after that steaming turd, Dallas is top of the league in PPG. That's kind of why I suggested Philly run as many of the young guys out there as they could. I'm not sure Curtin has the same kind of mandate as Pareja (FCD basically bought him from Colorado), but if it's even close to that, he should run out White, Marquez, Lee, Ayuk, and Aristeguieta (he's only 23???) every week. |
