calabro “i didn’t get it done”
first of all, full credit to don ruiz for his interview with KC, and you can read the whole article here.
i have got to give kevin a lot of credit, he knows that his strengths did not translate well for soccer.
“It’s disappointing,” he said. “I didn’t get it done. I don’t know how else to put it: I didn’t get it done. I didn’t have the quality of work that in my estimation was what the fans deserve or the product deserved.
Now having said that, it also comes down to quality of work. I did not give them the quality of the work that this project and the fans deserve. I’ve never heard Arlo, but I know that he has an extensive soccer background, so without having heard him ever before I would have to say they probably have made the right hire”
He goes on to say
“I appreciate them giving me an opportunity in the first place. They knew I wasn’t a soccer guy, and I never professed to be a soccer guy. But they gave me an opportunity. That’s why we both agreed to do a one-year contract and then take a look at it, and hey, if you like it, it’s working, then on we go. And if you don’t like it or it’s not working, then we’ll come up with some other plan. Everybody was up front about the way this thing was going to go this year.”
This isn’t a post to pick on Kevin, but I was sad to hear that he had “never heard arlo”. This means he didn’t go back and watch the Houston game that he missed. Draw your own conclusions on that one… but i would think rewatching the games that he missed would be the top of his list.
Ok, enough of that. I have always liked Kevin, I think he is a class act and good luck to him.
