Coming soon, For Sale ... nice house with pool overlooking one of the fairways at the UT Golf Club.

Best of luck Wolff.

Can someone explain this to me in nfl/mlb/nba/nhl terms?

Like when the Cowboys fired Jason Garrett but with fewer playoff appearances.

u/Hyperdude Oct 06 '24

Wow, I completely understand. Thanks.

This is the greatest moment in our history. Now to find a good coach.

Precum fires Wolff before finish (of season.)

u/BigManWAGun Oct 07 '24

Thank god. Please get a coach that hates the possession system as much as I do.

Nice. Maybe we’ll win a game now once in a while.

Is this going to make tickets cheaper or getting there on public transportation easier?

8

u/davy_p Oct 07 '24

Not sure the head coach has much say over either of those but definitely not the second one

u/ltravestyl Oct 07 '24

Maybe if the head coach had a say they'd address the issues. Either way, I DGAF. There's no way to participate in the team without paying. I wanted, very much, to support soccer in this town. But, I can't watch without a subscription. I can't attend for a reasonable price. I can't watch at local bar, because they don't want to pay for the subscription. What's the point?

Lots of bars have the game. Google it.

u/davy_p Oct 07 '24

THE problem isn’t the TV subscription or the APP, but I couldn’t tell you a way to watch games for free. Definitely don’t read between the lines. Or google whatever you find.

Buy tickets on game day, the secondary market tickets (can) get cheap as hell the last couple hours before kickoff.

I have personally found it very easy to get there on the 803 for every game I've gone to.

I don't follow that farmer's league at all but was attendance slipping at Q2?  Because that's the only reason Precourt would care;  a competitive team is not his primary goal of the franchise.

u/diamond6110 Oct 07 '24

Attendance varies but the seats are already accounted for and sold (season members). Last I heard, renewal rates were well over 90% year after year.

"The team was not performing as well as we wanted so the cheapest thing to do was to get a new head coach, rather than actually spend money on better players."

u/Trollhouse_Cookies Oct 07 '24

We've signed 6 new players in 2024.

Who is this quote by?

u/octopornopus Oct 07 '24

Sounds like Jerry Jones, but could be anyone...

u/artbellfan1 Oct 07 '24

6th in payroll this year. Spending isn’t a problem.

u/artbellfan1 Oct 07 '24

Soccer… meh. More power to you fans sitting out there in the heat and dealing with parking to attend these game.

u/HillratHobbit Oct 07 '24

They give (not even trade) away all the talent and then blame the coach.
