Well. Here we are.

We’ve been here before — or at least variations of “here” — repeatedly.

2017, Jeff Cassar. Fired a month or so after the season started for the team’s performance.

2019, Mike Petke. Fired in August after he verbally abused and harassed a referee with a homophobic Spanish-language slur.

2021, Freddy Juarez. Quit in August to join Seattle Sounders as an assistant coach.

Every two years, we’ve gone through coaching upheaval. Each time, there’s been a ready-made replacement waiting in the wings. A replacement that will last two years before things fall apart in one way or another.
