The former MLS star, who spent 12 seasons playing for the L.A. Galaxy and Chicago Fire before transitioning into coaching, addressed several topics while speaking with media members — in addition to his preferred style of play.Here’s what Armas and club president Pádraig Smith had to say:Leaning on tough timesWhat’s the story: Armas’ coaching track record has been a mixed bag, as he led the New York Red Bulls to an Eastern Conference final in his first year in charge, but eventually was fired in September 2020. He lasted 11 games in charge of Toronto FC in 2021 before getting the boot during a COVID-fi...

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 12:22:29 GMT

While Sean Payton got big money from the crazy-rich Waltons to coach the Broncos, DeMeco Ryans won the coaching sweepstakes by landing the better job in Houston.Although the Broncos and Texans bring identical 6-5 records to a game Sunday with huge playoff implications for this season, which of these teams is closer to winning the Super Bowl down the road?You tell me: Would you rather build a championship contender around two established NFL veterans in quarterback Russell Wilson and Payton, each with a championship on distinguished resumes, or 22-year-old rookie C.J. Stroud and Ryans, in his first-year as a head coach?Advantage, Texans.Money can’t buy you love or a championship ring.And a glorious history of football success can sometimes be more of a burden than a proud legacy.Let’s roll back the calendar to early 2022, when the Broncos had fired Vic Fangio as coach after a 7-10 record and the Texans were reeling not only from a 4-13 finish, but allegations of sexual misconduct aga...

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 12:22:29 GMT

The San Jose Sharks might have played their best hockey of the season on their recently completely homestand, but that meant nothing on Thursday as their struggles on the road remain nowhere close to being resolved.The Sharks allowed two goals in a lopsided second period and never fully recovered in a 3-0 loss to the Boston Bruins at TD Garden, as San Jose’s record away from home dropped to an unsightly 0-10-0.After an even first period, the Sharks allowed even-strength goals to Danton Heinen and Jake DeBrusk to fall behind 2-0.
