Do you know if Jonathan Morgan will stay on staff or follow Pensky to FSU?

I have no idea what Coach Morgan will do. I hope he stays on but that's to be determined by our new head coach.

In Joe We Trust! until he loses a match.... lol

Wow, VFL Bunny Shaw with 4 goals.

The player reaction to the Kirt announcement was nice to see. That said, White's comments were completely silly--he didn't cast a wide net or examine several candidates, not in four days--and I was expecting something a bit more inspirational from the new coach himself. He's been fortuitously handed a massive opportunity for a coach with his rather thin coaching CV--and let's hope he can make the most of it.

The fear of a mass player exodus to FSU was the main motivator for the decision to promote Kirt, IMO. There’s a ton of talent on this team and they want to keep as much of it together as possible.

What part of the game does Joe specialize in?

He has already agreed to stay. FSU could make him a big offer, but keeping him in the fold was a priority and it's a not a great time for his family to make a move right now.

He is the goalkeepers coach and primary recruiter.

I would vigorously disagree with this part of your post.

That’s great news.

This has to be great for women’s soccer and for the future of these Tennessee players that continue on to the next level.

Congratulations to Head Coach Rhian Wilkinson.
Portland Thorns were victorious in their opening game of the season.
Not a bad way to start your career for the VFL.

Vigorously disagree, huh? That sounds serious.

After seeing your history of negative posts and just recently a couple of positive ones, my guess is your beef was strictly with Pensky.

Yes
