Last week, the Orlando Pride took the interim tag off Seb Hines, making him the fourth full-time head coach in team history. The Pride are in the middle of a full rebuild but results on the field aren’t the most important thing when it comes to this appointment.
The Pride have been one of the most unstable teams in the NWSL over the past two seasons. It started July 23, 2021, when Head Coach Marc Skinner resigned to coach Manchester United’s women’s team in England. Needing someone to finish off the season, the club brought in former University of Florida Head Coach Becky Burleigh on an interim basis.
