[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it related to the rumor about oscar leaving the club?[/quote]

Haven't heard that - when/where is he going?[/quote]

Nobody should traffic in rumors like this. Just trying to stir the pot. If it happens, it happens. Worry about it then. Otherwise you may be worrying about something that is false. [/quote]

it's not just a rumor..... from what i hear[/quote]

Well what do you hear?  Clearly there are rumors.  At this point I can't see how it hurts to actually provide the detail of where he's going instead of just the rumor that he's leaving.[/quote]

ED resigns abruptly for greener pastures, his past experiences and education tells you he drawn to high profile roles. Recently, at a big local club, there's been and continues to be a complete overhaul of staff and personnel. I'd be surprised if the ED spent a second thinking about Arlington soccer Asso. who?  after he accepted his new role. Clearly he'd want to hit the ground running and make a statement. To do so it'd be wise to surround yourself with very qualified and highly regarded talent. Thats a very easy conversation and decision for Oscar to have. Especially after Arlington made the boys academy second fiddle to the girls side by joining ecnl first to help the girls side get in and not mls next. Also, with the younger boys teams not as strong as before, and the fact that it would be very difficult for him to get beyond his role as academy director, limiting his income for the foreseeable future, made his decision a no decision. Details where probably worked out before the start of the fall season.[/quote]

Wow.  That will be a huge blow to Arlington but, if true, I agree they should have foreseen it when they turned down MLS Next.[/quote]

Christ, he's the reason we even came back to Arlington.  I will be so sad if this is true.

So where is he going?[/quote]

I don’t think there is a coach in the DMV that would drive more player movement than a move by Oscar.[/quote]

If that's true, then why has younger talent been leaving Arlington at younger ages?  Or is that also part of driving player movement?[/quote]

Not the PP, but

1.  Some kids will always leave any program for one reason or another.  The key is the net flow - how many more kids want to join than want to leave.
2.  Oscar doesn't coach every team himself, and I would suggest that it is only this year that he finally has a coaching staff he is entirely happy with at every age group. 
3.  Certainly some players and parents, usually the ones that know less about soccer, will be attracted to "MLS Next" and leave for that reason alone.
4.  Talent is hard to judge.  You might find that Oscar disagrees with you about which kids are the most talented.

The bottom line is that anyone who knows anything about the boys' youth game in this area knows how good a coach Oscar is, and what he does for the development of the kids he coaches.  And that draws good players, as does Oscar's ability to spot talent which many other coaches fail to notice.

Just look at how many of DCU academy's starting players were coached by him.  There's no other coach in the area comes close.[/quote]
