[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VRSC now paying a professional or person to deflect the criticism away from them onto GF.  Hiring Gus is part of the strategy.   Unfortunately it will backfire on them as no credible player wants to be coached by this guy.  Maybe some of the younger players will stay, but no older player is going to put up with him.[/quote]

Why would the 2011’s and older NOT want a coach like him?  (He wins??)  I just saw he won USL-Y nationals with the 2010 girls in Tampa a month ago?  Apparently that team had really strong 2011’s and even a 2012.  [/quote]

Even if true that he wins (I have no idea), that is not most parents or kids top priority nor should it be.

He sounds like a d-bag.[/quote]

Going to try and be polite.  Yes you’d be a d-bag if your child plays REC and your coach is acting like every game is the Super Bowl.  Once you get out of the development leagues and move to the GA or ECNL…..YES creating a winning culture is pretty key.  Learning to be a winner sets up life lessons.  GD doesn’t hand out 8th place trophies and I’m pretty sure he was hired to create “winning culture” and “winning mentality.”  If you want to learn to braid hair on the sideline and learn kart wheels on his team, good luck.  So if winning is a d-bag move.  I’ll take d-bags all day.   [/quote]

I’ll disagree with you some. Winning is great, but not if it the coach is mentally abusive towards his or her own players. That is where a parent needs to draw the line. Problem is some parents are snowflakes and get criticism confused with abuse.

I like this constructive conversation.  Agree, “mentally abusive” sounds whole heartedly wrong.  Criticism is not abuse.  I guess my question is if this coach has been around for 20+ yrs (soccer community) wouldn’t any of these dealing of total misconduct that are being blasted have a paper trail?? Sure he’s had red cards, but wouldn’t his licensing be revoked?? Again nothing adds up to any truths.  It’s sad that people make stuff up.

it is a verifiable fact that he was thrown out of a game for calling a ref a "F@ggot." That fact alone is 100% disqualifying for anyone to coach MY kid. You might have different standards.

He has been around 20 years and coached at what, a dozen clubs? Coaches who jump ship that frequently are usually toxic people. And, considering it sounds like he was cheating at GFR (taking cash from parents for freelancing against GFR rules for coaches) and then got caught and quit on his commitments rather than stop his pay to play gravy train...serious yikes.[/quote]

Apparently VRSC didn’t do their homework on this hire.  They are putting profit over good judgement but we already know this is the case.[/quote]
