Tepper fires Soccer HC

I don't know of course, but this sounds like internal strife at the team level. Especially since the team made the playoffs in their 2nd season.  Doesn't seem like something Tepper would do to a successful franchise..??

But what do I know..???

I heard it on the news yesterday

Oh yeah, I'm absolutely certain there was a problem as LP mentioned.  Because I give Tepper a lot of credit as a businessman only, I find it unrealistic that he would break up a team/coaching partnership that was in the playoffs in their 2nd year. You can't argue with success.  EXCEPT if the atmosphere had become completely toxic.  That's why I believe the problems were endemic between the players and the HC. Following what the club President had to say and the personnel guy (whatever his official TITLE is..??), it seems likely that the move was made to mollify players and because the HC was making "unnatural" and highly suspect decisions. I think the club hierarchy realized that the HC had to go. No blame to be apportioned here..... I just don't think Tepper had anything to do with it, except peripherally to back up (authorize..) what the club Prez had to say.

That's the only way it makes sense (to ME) for a 2nd year successful team. (IMHO...)
