Nick Cushing Named Interim HC (Jul '22) / HC (Nov '22) / Fired (Nov ‘24)

Definitely an interesting profile, but I get the sense from the fact he left Mumbai when he was so successful that he wants to be in Europe. Would he be more like Ronny Deila, who always had his eyes on returning to Europe? Maybe we can have success with him for a year or two, but I don't get the sense he's sticking around for a long time and I'm kind of sick of rotating managers every 2 years or fewer when we always struggle with a new manager and it takes half a season to get into rhythm. It worked with Ronny where he won MLS Cup before he left and maybe it would work with Des, but that's a risk.

We are about to hire our 6th coach in our 11th MLS season -- my preference is for a coach who wants to be here long-term. It's why I'm intrigued by Gio Savarese.

I agree with the stability piece. We need someone who will succeed and be here for a while.

Ditto. I'm not sure Savarese is the guy. But whoever it is, I want them to take the job, at a minimum, with the intent to see us through our first full year in our own park. Beyond that would be better still.

Virtually nothing here about NYCFC, though he does say he was not surprised he was fired.

Why do they awkwardly stand 15 ft apart?

So Nick, we will have you stand over here so it looks like you've just barely stepped out from behind this giant screen. I'll be over here with my laptop open like I'm waiting for an urgent email and we can just shout questions back and forth at each other like it's 2020 and we are just sorting out this whole social distancing thing.
