Now covering Curtis in the off season player/coach thread.

I was expecting him to be kept on in some nominal role, but thumbs up for this move. :thumbsup:

So Jozy was brought back by Manning, and Curtis had nothing to do with it.

Looks to me like Curtis is no longer the acting GM, regardless of his current title.

Hiring his buddy Armas to be...

At the presser Manning seemed pissed off at Curtis like it 100% was Curtis' fault. Curtis is likely on very thin ice

I'd allow Ali to change his mind.

From March.

Actually... :-(

Zavaleta staying and playing is symptomatic of the issues with this team under Curtis' choice of coach. Now I ask, does Curtis have what it takes to get rid of Armas?

At some...

This thread is the Curtis evaluation thread.

That would be good for everyone. Sometimes a change can bring out the best in a player. For TFC it would be an upgrade by subtraction.

I for one don't actually believe that Zavaleta is on the team due to nepotism. He was a known player before he played for his uncle. However his playing has declined significantly, does Curtis have...

My biggest evaluation of Curtis won't be his failure to get enough firepower to win the MLS Cup, he was in a hard situation when Seba left, it will be whether he has the cajones to get rid of...

He's better than I thought he'd be, has some potential.

I like Curtis' TAM signings. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

I would give Vanney the benefit of the doubt and think that Curtis brought in poor choices.

Laryea has turned out to be an OK signing, which I didn't expect, as has DeLeon. Westberg I credit to Vanney.


I'm still not sure what positives Curtis brings to the table.

So was the 300 page thing from RB Salzburg? Or was it something that Curtis did that was totally ignored?

I'd argue that Boyd was intended to be an upgrade to Ricketts. It's pretty obvious that has not turned out to be the case. Boyd is far worse a signing than VdW.

Curtis signed Boyd in February, Bez left the previous December.

The union hasn't released salaries, but the MLS website released his salary.

So yes, he's making...

I'm pretty sure Boyd's performance matched his limited skill set. That's not just coaching.

Where Vanney's limitation is is being willing to adjust his tactics to a mediocre squad. However it's...

Waste of $200+k.

If picking up Boyd for Ricketts is what we're going to be seeing from Curtis, this team is going to become a bottom feeder. Boyd can't even play at this level. One of the worst player decisions since...

Is anyone surprised? Argos were always going to be the priority once they were added to Manning's duties. They are a more important media property, at least in the large Boomer demographic.

TFC...

That's actually my point. What exactly is Curtis doing? I've given him Laryea as well as Boyd. Neither signing is stellar.

Here's what Bez did in his first four months:

Interesting theory. Praise Vanney as a "good coach" at the beginning, then work to undermine him so he can justify replacing him with his own guy. Wouldn't be the first time that has happened...
