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]

The clues seem to be:

From one poster:  "Word on the street someone's moving to the NW burbs where the trees are AlwaysGreen"

And from another: "Recently, at a big local club, there's been and continues to be a complete overhaul of staff and personnel", and "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", and "the fact that it would be very difficult for him to get beyond his role as academy director"

Complete overhaul of staff and personnel could be Herndon.  "AlwaysGreen" seems to imply Evergreen Sports Complex which would be Barca.  "A big local club" and MLS Next might imply Bethesda.

If we place our faith in the second poster, and assume the first is a red herring, this would fit if Bethesda has been overhauling staff and personnel recently.  Have they?[/quote]

The clues would imply that Oscar is heading to VA Revolution.[/quote]

I don’t claim to know anything but I can see how VA Revolution certainly makes a whole lot of sense for both parties.[/quote]

I don't.  I'd be surprised if Oscar would want to coach at that level.  I could see a sideways move to an MLS Next club, especially a big one like Bethesda.  Or just possibly a move to an ECNL club where he could be in line to run the whole program - maybe Loudoun if that were a possibility there.

I could also see a move to a college program.

I can't see a move to VA revolution though, or Barca for that matter.[/quote]

The point would be that they wouldn’t stay at that level. As a pp mentioned, his resume is damn impressive. If I’m VA Revolution and I recognize that he provides legitimacy to move into higher level leagues, provides an angle to pull a lot of kids from Barca’s player pool, and draws an influx of some high level players, and money is not an object (as seems to be the case with VRSC), why wouldn’t they make him an offer to make him the highest paid TD in the area?[/quote]

His resume is impressive, but that doesn't mean MLSNext or ECNL will be eager to expand. Does he really want to drop down to coaching mediocre NCSL teams?  [/quote]

Exactly.  Expansion, if it happens at all, doesn't happen quickly.[/quote]

ECNL could just swap and not "expand". BRYC has been performing extremely poorly since joining ECNL. Moving from one ECNL club to another would simply be lateral unless a big check was involved.

MLS Next, who knows what their plans are but geographically Revolution could fit in. [/quote]

Why would ECNL expel BRYC and then add an even weaker club?[/quote]
