1. Clyde Watson
-Unquestioned reputation in the area, but is retiring. Basically built Mclean's girls program with his own hands over the last 20 years.

2. Nadir Moumen / Mikey Welsh
-Not the most warm and fuzzy personalities but have an established track record of many years of high performing teams, even if your DD hates playing for them. Even if your DD dislikes their personality and coaching style, she will still play for them because of the light at the end of the tunnel.

Bobby Puppione and Christian Czommer from FCV also make an appearance here because of the track record with their teams. Even if your DD dislikes their personality and coaching style, she will still play for them because of the light at the end of the tunnel.

3. Michel Vanderhart / Gene Mishalow / Rae Ann Taylor
-Coaching veterans in the area who have been grinding it out for 20+ years and have a ton of experience but not the benefit of coaching for a club with reputationally has pulled in the best girls talent in the area (Mclean / FCV typically)
Some people have mixed feelings about these coaches (love/hate relationship) but undeniably they are veteran coaches in the area.

4. Phil Leversedge / Dave Bucciero / Brent Leiba
-A group of very smart coaches who can really coach. Dave used to be the women's coach at AU, Phil and Brent are extremely brainy and capable, experienced coaches who have a lot of experience in the game and are respected.

George Hales makes an appearance here, not sure if he is still coaching with Metro United or not but I'd put him here.

5. Michelle Alioto / Hayhtam Mansur / Tyler Mishalow / Matt Lee
-All very capable coaches who have coached in the area for a while and probably have cabinets full of trophies for state cups, tournament trophies, and ODP accolades.

6. Joseph Nemzer / Scott Sinclar / Declan Cole  
Experienced in coaching at college levels but by their bios it looks like this is their first year or two coaching youth players, which is completely different. BRYC experimented with this method the last few years by bringing former college coaches in to coach some age groups and it was a disaster. These coaches are fine for a U18/U19 team that is in its last year already. A lack of experience coaching youth players may be covered over by being handed a strong age group to begin with.

7. Lindsey Ottavio / Molly Menchel / Nick Surkamp / Mackenzie Wright
-Experienced in soccer as former players but haven't established themselves in the area or a coaching reputation / track record yet on the girls side. I'm sure they are all good coaches, but they are being compared to the list above so they fall at #7.
