I just don't understand why Heath would want to join TFC as an assistant. He is a decent candidate for a head coach job in MLS.

There must be more to this story. Like Mariner pulling a Mo and making himself GM.

Or MLSE hiring him as the backup plan for Mariner. So we can have the next generation of assistent stabbing the manager in the back to take their job.

Or maybe Mariner is getting sacked at the end of the season and this is his replacement :)

I understand it from TFC FO's point of view. I just think Heath would be looking to go straight into a head coach role.

That being said, I'm not sure which other MLS teams are even looking for new coaches.

I think you're both onto something...

The obvious answer is Paul Mariner is going to be named President. He'll represent TFC in corporate boardrooms in his shorts.

This is a possibility. But Mariner, like Mo, doesn't have the authority to "make himself GM," they get that job when they prove their loyalty - as Ensco says, MLSE is all about loyalty (and a little of knowing your place and not being too ambitious and making your boss look bad).

Couple of things. Adrian Heath's main coaching experience is two levels below MLS. That's still a pretty big jump to make, so hiring him as an assistant may not be that out of line. His closest experience to what he'll see in MLS was in the English Championship, and these were all assistant positons or caretaker roles that weren't particularly successful. There's enough doubt about him to not give him the keys right away.

Also, he worked under Peter Reid in England, who Mariner worked with for half a year as assistant at Plymouth until he left to come to TFC. It's likely they know each other quite well going back a few years.

Gives new meaning to the term "board shorts".

Austin was in the NASL for a couple of seasons (2009,2010) with Heath as head coach.

I believe they dropped down to USL with the move to Orlando.

Yeah that's true. There are still lots of doubts about him. Given the season we had, might it be time for TFC to use some of that financial might they have to pry away a proven coach from another MLS team instead of taking a flyer on a lower level coach?

More interesting news on Adrian Heath not joining TFC:

According to the Lions head coach, Toronto offered an assistant coaching position with the understanding that he would eventually become the head coach

From Soccer by Ives:

Ives Galarcep ‏@SoccerByIves (https://twitter.com/SoccerByIves) I'm told Adrian Heath has turned down a big-money offer from TFC to be their lead assistant coach & will sign a new deal with Orlando City.

Ives Galarcep ‏@SoccerByIves (https://twitter.com/SoccerByIves) TFC offered Heath serious money, more than several current MLS head coaches make, and he still said no. Not a good look for TFC. At all.

NOT GOOD NEWS

"I’m bitterly disappointed,” Mariner told SBI via telephone. “We thought he would be a good fit in Toronto.”
Mariner also downplayed Heath’s public comments that there was an understanding that Heath would eventually become the head coach. Mariner stated that there were no immediate plans for him to step aside as head coach in the immediate future, but that he “won’t be around forever” as head coach.

You said it.

Even with all their money, no-one good will want to coach for TFC... at least with Anselmi running the soccer operations.
