    Default Interim Head Coach Announcement Wednesday @ 1:00pm

    If it is anyone besides Chris Cummins, I will be sort of disappointed. 2 wins in a row with him on the sidelines, why change something that works?

    It 'sounds' like someone new, but I think that could be a guise for bringing Cummins in FT. He certainly has earned it so far.

    I would be fine with Cummins. He knows what he's doing and appears to have helped the team build character. At least give him a shot and let him coach the team for a month or so.

    Everyone says not to get pissed after only a loss of two, however then you shouldn't get all happy after 1 or 2 wins either. I'm not even so sure Cummins did the coaching against Chivas.

    It's obviously going to be Cummins for the time being until we find someone.

    I doubt they would've been able to find a replacement this fast. Sounds like they're making it official that Cummins is new head coach.

    You heard it here first. Man comes out to press conference with a paper sack over his head, then rips it off to reveal...John Carver...to great applause!

    Ballard always was a genius.

    Well, MoJo already said that it would be CC or Daso on an interim basis... so... I expect to see... CC or Daso. Likely CC, since Daso came in as the second assistant.

    I'd actually be OK with him quitting to get everything off his chest without fear of reprecussions, and then starting fresh this weekend

    This isn't the WWE people.

    It's not like that stupid Higher Power angle, where Undertaker answered to a "higher power" and it was Vince McMahon.

    Or when he lost to Austin in a retirement match and Austin was the only one who can re-instate him.

    I'd prefer CC.

    cummins to me is the natural choice.. I don't believe the front office is about to spend a ton of money on another coach especially on such short notice..
    And as a bold prediction watch how Danny D slowly begins his transition to coaching . Going into 2010 he will eventually be torontos assistant coach.. you heard it hear first..

    I will tell you there have been some massive names mentioned and some interviews have taken place. I expect Cummins to be announced tomorrow, but there could be a big announcement in the next couple weeks.

    That's the only reason I'd want Sven here to be honest.

    Its like Sven doesn't even coach anymore, he just sits back, stares blankly and yawns every once in a while....

    He's boring....and he couldn't do shit with Mexico....

    It seems a little odd that a press conference will be held for something that already exists. Why not just send out a press release saying "Chris Cummins will remain as the interim"
    Could it be something bigger?

    Why does everyone think we're getting Sven? And out of all of the great available coaches why Sven?

    That has the ring of plausibility.

    Everyone assumes that Chris Cummins (Note to GOLTV that is Cummins... not CumminGs) wants the job.

    If he does and accepts then does TFC need another coach to assume whatever duties CC had before?

    Hey... CC... I have always liked CC (Canadian Club that is) with a little ginger ale

    I heard Mancini was seen on College dining at Cafe Diplomatico and Klinsmann was spotted at the Bier Markt too

    C'mon MLSE won't spend a dime while the stadium is full and the cash tills overflowing.

    thanks for the info.
    curious to see whether the second announcement hinges on how well Cummins does....
    I think Cummins deserves a go, hes been coaching for a long enough time and i suspect might be a breath of fresh air for the team and league

    Hey Jeffro,

    you have proved before that you have inside info. But what I don't get with this is why would they announce Chris Cummins as the interim coach today, and then in a couple of weeks make a huge announcement. The announcement we are getting today is who will be the interim coach for the remainder of the year no?

    Unless they are only saying today that Chris is interim until a new coach is hired. That doesn't show much confidence in Cummins though.

    Cummins will be the next coach 100%.
    If not, and the rumours of him leaving without the title would create a huge problem for Mo and MLSE. I cant see Mo letting this happen because his job will be on the line after this season as well.

    I find it interesting though(maybe someone can explain) Nick Dasovic was brought in around this time last year as head of the academy only to then become assistant coach?.....Was he that good in his first half season that they promoted him? ....Was it JC who promoted him from within or Mo???..

    Makes you wonder if Mo was thinking of a change very early on.

    Does this make any sense at all or am i in left field?
