When word broke Monday that Toronto had parted ways with head coach Bob Bradley, some on our desk wondered if New York City FC coach Nick Cushing might soon be the next flying coach.
After all, Bradley’s underperforming Toronto is only 14th in the Eastern Conference and thus only one place behind NYCFC, who certainly had imagined the course of the 2023 season to be very different.
In fact, four of the five teams at the bottom of the table have already made the decision to part ways with their respective head coaches prematurely. NYCFC is the only team of this quintet that still sticks to its main coach.
Unlike his already-sacked peers, Cushing is navigating the shoals of Major League Soccer with a roster that was clear from the start was far less competitive compared to last year.
Because since Taty Castellanos moved to Girona in the Spanish LaLiga last summer, the Boys in Blue simply lack a seasoned center forward who can deliver immediately.
Although a talented rookie striker, Gabriel Segal, was signed, he had scored exactly zero goals in his professional career until he signed his contract with NYCFC this year.
To put it more succinctly: His colleagues Bradley, Hendrickson, Neville and Struber have been held accountable for expensively launched projects that didn’t work, but Cushing continues to oversee a project that has already been ill-prepared.
