Kreis Officially Out At NYCFC

In other words, didn't do his job.

For those who don't agree with this firing, tell me, how could Kreis have possibly performed worse this year than he did?

But he won a MLS Cup, right? Well Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl, big deal.
What's surprising is that it sounds so out-of-character from what we've heard about him. Really bizarre.

Poor trent dilfer. poster boy for mediocrity
 
Hmmm... you mean the same group of decision makers who picked Kreis in the first place?
Yeah. Interesting indeed.

Yes. Hiring him wasn't a bad move. I don't think there was a single person that didn't like the hiring initially. As the season progressed, it became clear that he wasn't the type of coach we thought he was. He can and will go somewhere else that has a different set of circumstances that better fits his style and be successful. It just didn't play out the way anyone expected at NYCFC. Nothing wrong with that and we should be thoroughly pleased that CFG recognized the disconnect and were willing to make a hard decision.
 
Let's not have this turn into another MCFC debate. By all means argue over whether CFG had a hand in this, or even if MCFC held Lampard back, but we could all do without this descending into another clash over whether people approve of them or not. You all know which way that argument goes. We don't need to have it take over an otherwise-reasonable conversation about the manager position.

This is, after all, a thread about Kreis, and that's the topic we should stay focused on.
This conversation is entirely about CFG. If Vieira is hired, even more so.
 
Start of 2016 with a new coach: The expectations now are that you make the Eastern Conference finals.
End of 2016: NYCFC qualified for the playoffs but did not make to the Eastern Conference finals, losing in the semis. The coach has been fired.
 
We're accepting quotes from a comedian now? Good lord.
Have you ever been to a "Kreis" training camp? Well, I have seen him and his coaching staff in action a few years ago while visiting my cousin in South Carolina. Fantastic, Innovative, Refreshing, Motivating and Imaginative way to develop, train, build players' conditioning through hard work yet interjecting a little fun into the day-t0-day work schedule that these athletes need to be successful and yet love the "job" they do. That's right, it's a job…full of risk, hard work, potential for career ending injuries and probably a short-live career where most of the athletes have to start their careers over by 30 years old (without making a ton of money like in other American sports)! Jason Kreis in a moral, honest, stand-up guy…NYCFC was lucky to have him as a coach…ask the players!!!
 
This is classless BS from the team. Nameless spineless cowards leak vague allegations that are impossible to fact check after the guy is fired. No specific instances are mentioned that someone could follow up and disprove. Nothing was said until after the decision is made. This is just anonymous character assassination in service of a craven organization.

Why are you letting a tweet from a comedian rile you up as if it is fact? Alexis is a good dude and very funny but a reputable journalist he is not.
 
Most may disagree, but I rather cut the cord on a coach that was simply not meshing with the squad and board, rather than keeping him for the sake of doing so.
I don't think any coach would mesh with the way players entered and disappeared from the NYCFC team sheet this season.
