Jason Kreis' time at Real Salt Lake was defined by consistency. Along with former RSL Vice President and General Manager Garth Lagerwey, Kreis laid out a plan for how to mold a team around a core group and build that team into a perennial winner.
Kreis wasn't afforded that opportunity in his last stop at New York City FC, being fired after just one non-playoff season with the expansion franchise despite being saddled with old, expensive Designated Players that didn't leave much left to invest in a decent defense.
It will be interesting to see what kind of patience he is afforded by an Orlando City front office that has seen its share of turnover and turmoil over the last year, not to mention what kind of say he's granted in player acquisitions.
