Then there’s Mo Johnston. For all intents and purposes, he was Carver’s boss. And as the team was 2-2-2 on the year and struggling to score goals, he was under pressure from his bosses at MLSE to address the coaching situation. He may have had to fire Carver sooner or later, and Carver knew this.
On top of that, Johnston is not an easy man to work with. Quite the contrary, as a matter of fact. A source with close ties to the squad informed me this week that most of the players do not respect Johnston. That opinion seems consistent in much of the Canadian coaching community. The same source confirmed that he had talked to a pair of high-profile Canadian coaches with ambitions to coach in MLS, both of whom would not even consider a job under Johnston. Whether Carver and Johnston clashed from time to time is unknown. But it’s certainly within the realm of possibility.
