I have thoughts, but not entirely positive.... I'm sure she'll do well, at least as far as the quality of players available allow her to do. I'm just not convinced she is as 'top tier' outside of her United status as some of us think.

Tbf I think the ‘tier’ thinking of fans is often overestimated. There are many very good coaches, and their estimated ‘level’ is to a huge degree a product of their fit with the environment and a thousand situational factors. This is why, looking at most coaches carreers, one can find that they overperformed and underperformed reasonable expectations about as many seasons.

I think it’s safe to say Casey did a fantastic job at Man Utd. What happened at San Diego Wave is not something I know alot about, but they did come 3rd and 1st in the league play the first two seasons she was there, before she was sacked midway in thethird season when they struggled. She also received the ‘Best Coach’ award after her first season there.
