Anybody a soccer fan?

[MUBasketball]

I hate it...so hopefully somebody can help me out.

MU men's soccer associate head coach Stan Anderson is no longer listed on the roster and Coach Bennett has hired a new assistant. Nothing on Google about Stan taking a new job. Anybody have any idea what happened?

[shaquilvaine]

All I heard was that he was let go and they were moving in a new direction assistant wise.

Anderson to SMU?

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Maybe he didn't like Larry's attempt to make him a better coach.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

You need an insider for the correct answer.

Something's not right with that situation, cause he was one of the top assistants in the country and a great goalie coach.  Plus they never announced it.   This admin. doesn't mind lying/spinning to us as the C-ham situation proved with him "leaving to pursue other opportunities".

It's bizarre. I actually heard some rumblings about this back in February from a local club coach, but it was never announced. Not sure why.

It has nothing to do with the admin, no need to get your knickers in a bunch. This was Louis Bennett's decision and his alone.

It does stink though seeing as Stan was an absolutely terrific person, always willing to speak with anyone in student media and promoting the team better than anyone at Marquette. He was and is a great coach.

Something b.a.d. musta gone down or Louie just burned Anderson bad.  Cause Anderson was in line to get a hc job.

[Bocephys]

Anderson to SMU?

Buzz to men's soccer?

[PaintTouches]

Nah, that's the whole problem (from my understanding). Stan tried to get a H.C. job, failed, and Louis was none to pleased at him for it.

This makes no sense to me. He's an assistant trying to get a head job. Pretty much all assistant coaches try to become a head coach. Why would Louis be upset about it?

He has a massive ego for such a little dude.

When the head coaching job your assistant is after is yours things can get sticky.

Not sure. Thinking it might have something to do with UWM though.

Usually universities aren't going to put out press releases saying people are fired or that they are leaving unless they are high profile.

They didn't say anything when Collins or Benford left either....but did announce Chew's hiring.

Should be interesting to see how Louie does this year.   Talk about a weird ride.   Last year progressed in league play tremendously after frankly stinking up the joint for four years.  Does the winning trend continue?   Looks like they have some offensive pieces this year, C. Nortey,etc.

Which leads to the point that you can't judge a coach until after five seasons.

[Blackhat]

Looks like you can't judge until after six years with Louie.   Got to do it twice for me before I would extend him out(don't know what kind of contract Williams gave him after his contract came up last year), to prove last year wasn't just an anomaly.  Especially after watching junk soccer for four years prior.

Well, if I'm the coach and have 4 crappy years followed by a good one I sure want to be judged on year 5 and have 1-4 forgotten/forgiven. Wouldn't work for me as a fan or the boss, though.

You guys failed to see the Hoopaloop in that one?

I kinda figured, but to the extent that I missed it, sorry.

Perhaps the mods should turn on the "Reveal IP" function.
