Walter Mazzarri is said to be trying to come to MLS with Toronto being the favorites.

If we wanted a Euro coach this is the type of guy we should have gone after. I'm not really a huge fan of him. But I think his style could translate well to MLS, and he actually has coaching experience.

The Orlando front office/media link themselves with everyone. The credibility of any link involving Orlando died a long time ago.

One team, besides ours of course, that I am very interested in seeing rebuilt this offseason is Chicago. They fired every one there, I mean everyone, even the locker room guy and the kit guy. They brought in some interesting new people like a new coach in a former Philly player who just coached a U23 Serbian team who won the WC. They also cleared house waiving or declining over half a team. I think they have 10 players on the books. AND they haven't signed one single player yet. So the team that needed the most new players haven't done anything but teams like Portland have. Mind boggling.

I wonder what their long term plan is? I guess it wasn't in the reentry draft because they traded down. But they have been hording SuperDraft picks, so they might trying to use them as trade bait or they have high hopes for the college draft.

Interesting.

Could be that they're trying to give the new staff as much of a blank slate (cap-wise) as possible to work with. It's sometimes a wasted year for a new coach to come in and not have the ability to even remotely shape their squad because of tight cap space and existing contracts. Also having a coach that succeeded on the YNT level, they may be hoping they can have a good college draft and create some chemistry with youth supplemented by a few foreign signings, maybe from the Balkins since he's familiar with his home country's & immediate neighbors' players.
