Polls: August 2008 Archives
Cobi Jones faced the media for the first time Tuesday as the Galaxy's interim coach.
Jones said kinder things about predecessor Ruud Gullit than some of the players I talked to Tuesday. And he was saying all the right things as far as former GM Alexi Lalas was concerned, too:
"It's a loss of someone that was very dedicated to this club and this organization, not only the Galaxy but AEG. It's a huge loss and he will be missed within the club and organization but for the players and everything, it's something else along with Ruud they have to put that behind them and move forward."
(Incidentally, Soccer By Ives is speculating the Galaxy have targeted Eddie Lewis.
It could be a short stint for Cobi; his status is in effect for just one game - Thursday's SuperClasico against Chivas USA.
So with speculation already mounting over who the identity of the next Galaxy coach, who do you think should take over the reins?
Does Jones represent the stability the Galaxy needs for the rest of the season and perhaps beyond?
Should AEG raid their most successful MLS club - the defending champion Houston Dynamo - and install Dominic Kinnear as head coach of the Galaxy?
With the Olympics over for the U.S. men, does the Galaxy need a defensive-minded, no-nonsense disciplinarian like Peter Nowak to whip them into shape?
Or should the ever-popular Sigi Schmid return?
Tell me who you think should be the next Galaxy coach in the poll below.
And if the name you want isn't listed, add a comment to this post.
