It was wrong for the Revs to fire Jay Heaps when they did
On Sept, 19, the New England Revolution fired longtime coach Jay Heaps and I believe it was the wrong decision. Yes, Heaps deserved to be sacked but doing it with five games left in the season didn’t benefit anyone.
Short of an epic run, the Revs were out of the playoffs when Heaps was shown the door. This made the final games a formality and gave interim coach Tom Soehn little to achieve. This is too bad for Soehn, who has expressed interest in returning as the team’s permanent head coach.
