Same GM, Same Fire: Should the Fire renew Georg Heitz’s contract?

After a promising start, the Chicago Fire are on a seven-game winless run. We’ve seen this before; the previous two seasons under the Georg Heitz regime quickly turned sour, and the Men in Red suffered a pair of 22nd place finishes out of 26 and 27 teams in 2020 and 2021 respectively. As mentioned previously, the third season of Heitz’s project isn’t going anywhere at the moment. The Sporting Director’s contract is set to run out at the end of the year, which begs the question: should Heitz get another shot? Let’s take a closer look back at what he’s done over the last three seasons.
