Canny is a weird circumstance. That chick must have sunshine down there because it isn't like he got caught with a hot 18 year old. If you hire Lane Kiffin then you know you might get Joey Freshwater with him but as far as I know, Canny had no rumors like that.

Dang. He was a pretty good coach. I'll have to read that thread you posted later, I can't access it at work.

Where do they list the job opening? Asking for a friend.

 

[patdog]

A lot of unsubstantiated anonymous allegations by someone who didn't even bother to register for the website. I highly doubt John Cohen would have let our assistant coach be hired by Oregon St. as head coach last month, only to fire Anagnost a month later. Also, have friends whose niece has been on the team for 4 years and haven't heard a word of any problems she had with him.

Read like the post of a lunatic soccer mom or a seriously beta, dickless dadmom straight off the select soccer circuit.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Agreed.

 

[MSUDC11]

Anagnost is simply leaving for another job. Rumored to be in the ACC, which is where he was before he came here.

I do find it unusual that he announced he was leaving for another nameless job before the place he’s going to even announced his hiring. You don’t see that often.

 

[CEO2044]

He put a few tweets out on Twitter. Just seems like he wants more of a personal life, and I can understand that. It was kind of vague, but that's what I got out of it. Said he'd always put his career first, something happened in his personal life that made him want to coach somewhere else.

And yes, I looked at that thread on my phone. Can't say I know the guy in any way, but know other coaches in the state that really respected him, and people with kids in his program thought highly of him. I would hope most of that is false, as it doesn't align with anything I've ever heard about him.

It definitely reads like someone's special girl isn't special anymore.

 

[patdog]

I think that's just fluff to make it look like he didn't leave us for a better job. IF he truly re-evaluated his life priorities and is leaving for a less demanding job, then doing it 1 month AFTER his top assistant got hired by Oregon St. is pretty strange timing.

 

[dickiedawg]

I heard Boston College, can't verify.

 

[patdog]

BC is my guess too. Syracuse job is also open though.

Hard to tell who is who on that thread. Everybody was anonymous.

Yes whoever posted that was totally jaded. Their baby has probably never done anything wrong.

I know a few of the soccer families at State and I will say this coach did raise a few eyebrows. Always tough on players when the coach who signed them gets replaced by someone they don’t know, but it sounds like Coach A was fairly aggressive in his thinning of the herd.

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

Maybe so, but by thinning the herd, he certainly upgraded the team.

Anagnost to coach at Illinois-Chicago.

 

[patdog]

Wow. There’s definitely more to the story than him just taking another job then. And must have been something recent.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

If he was going to coach the men's team, I'd understand. They have some history. But this? It's not even a lateral move. The closest equivalent I can think of it is when Ron Greene went to Murray State.

Edit to add: Actually that's a disservice to Murray State-- they have a history. But only five seasons in women's soccer for Illinois-Chicago?

 

[CEO2044]

Just from reading his tweet, the move seems more for personal reasons than professional. It’s odd, but maybe that was more important.

 

[peewee.sixpack]

I only know one girl on the team and from what I have heard it wouldn't surprise me if the information in the attached forum post is true. He did not sound like a coach I would want my daughter playing for.

Anagnost to coach at Illinois-Chicago.

Very strange, UIC is in the midst of disbanding their Gymnastics program due to money concerns. No way UIC can pay more but he is a Michigan native so maybe he likes shoveling snow.
