For me, this is mostly vibes and memory based. I have not gone back and crunched any numbers. Because of that methodology, I have high confidence in its accuracy.
1. Dome Torrent
2. Patrick Vieira
3. Pascal Jansen
4. Ronny Diela
5. Nick Cushing
6. Jason Kreis

Dome took Vieira’s base and made it incredible. Deila is second only for winning the cup. He probably should be below Jansen in my mind.
Jansen with Miami games excluded turned Cushing POS system into something worthy of value and had me thinking “why not us?!”
Vieira implemented the city way into this team and really gave the ground work for the team identity. But he also gave us the Red Bull Wedding due to his stubbornness. Jason had some fun from Villa and Pirlo. But overall couldn’t do anything with RSL’s B team roster.
Cushing was never all that fun. Just seemed like Santi carrying the entire offense on his back in a bad way.

It's fun how varied these are.
IMO, Vieira laid the foundation and drilled the quick passing system into the core of the team that led to our subsequent success. Play fast, pass, and move, and play from the back with no fear, knowing sometimes you will get caught out, and that's okay. Every player who went through the Vieira years learned the system; he drilled it to death. Dome and Deila made some essential refinements, but I don't think their success is possible without Vieira teaching a whole team to play the cfg way.
As the team has turned over and the Veirea core has been replaced, our style has faded along with our ability to score more than a goal per game. Guys dribble into doubles, we can't break down a low block, and those days of lightning-fast triangles have gone away.
For me, Saunders beats Barrazza, the driving rebound machine, ten times out of ten.

- Janssen. Solid guy, kind of boring in the best way, competent.
- Cushing. Took all the shit for a crap roster and never complained about it. Won Campeones Cup. Won more playoff rounds than he lost. 4-1-1 against Red Bulls.
- Deila. Nearly naked pushups. Some of the worst coaching luck in regular season NYCFC history. Some of the best in the 2021 playoffs between the Union Covid outbreak and winning multiple spot kick shootouts.
- Vieira. Took disordered boring chaos and built a team identity. Ruined 2018 with an over long and distracting job search and leaving midseason.
- Kreis. He didn't just say be the dick. He lived it. Respect.
- Dome. Whiny bitch. Destroyed the best start in club history in 2018. Gets credit for Heber's top 3 MLS all time scoring effectiveness rate by non-Messi players. Confused everyone with mistranslated pineapple Yoda-level bullshit nonsense.
