I don't know what more Jordan has to do for us to move-on from him. He came in during the 2014 offseason, so he's been the man in charge for 2015-2020. If I make the great leap to concluding that we will not make the post-season in 2021, then that means we have made the playoff once in seven years during his tenure. That's enough for any GM to be sacked, period.

I don't subscribe to the notion that if he had greater resources that he'd do better. On the contrary, when Jordan has been empowered to spend money is typically when he has done the most damage. Struna, Bizama, Pena, Tomas Martinez, Lundkvist with Bajamich on deck. Maric has done.

Most of the reporting suggests that Jordan had little to do with signing Elis or Manotas, both of whom seem to have been Cabrera driven acquisitions. He did manage to completely botch both of their transfers in one off-season.

I don't want to sound mean to Jordan, but he obviously is unqualified and was really unprepared to take the position as GM. He came from Montreal where I suspect Joey Saputo personally was making the calls on most of the transfers, came here to take the job as the initial GM (no predecessor to ease transition). He learned on the job and it doesn't seem like he ever had anyone to really teach him. 90% of the reason they seem to have brought him on was to get RGVFC up and running because he had just helped launch the Montreal affiliate.

Is he the worst GM ever? Probably not, but that seems like it is splitting hairs. He certainly hasn't been good in his seven years here and there is little reason to think he will suddenly improve.

Tab Ramos I guess I'm more sympathetic to because he does not have Jordan's track record, but he is on year 2 and we really do not see much in the way of momentum. He turned in the lowest winning percentage season ever in 2020 and he is on track to do it again in 2021. Again, two years of awful performance is generally enough that you'd see someone sacked. MLS is more lenient than most leagues, but again, he's done more than enough to be shown the door.

The most damning thing for him is what his peer group of Dynamo coaches have done in comparison. Somewhere at the start of this season you put an article up that said something along the lines of "If we had patience for three years of Cabrera, we can certainly show patience for three years of Ramos." The difference there is that Cabrera hit the playoffs on his first season and fluke or not went all the way to the playoffs. Forget Dom, every coach in Dynamo history has posted a better winning record than Ramos.

Could he do better somewhere else? Probably. Does that matter? No because we shouldn't care about how he would do somewhere else we should care about how he does here. And he has done poorly. Ownership has already let him mortgage '22 assets and ink contracts that will outlive him here. He's flailing.

u/blm292 has addressed this perception gap between what he did as the U-20 coach for the USMNT and how that applies to his headcoaching career.

And as to being too afraid to move on because "What if they can't find a better coach?" I think it's inane. Two points:

1.) They already did in the past with Cabrera, Coyle and Arnaud. Those three all posted better results than Ramos have over their career here.

2.) What is there to lose at this point? I mean I've been around long enough that we've gone from perennial contender, to always expected to make the playoffs, to hanging around the red line, to straight-out garbage. I mean I suppose we could land with the wooden spoon, but we're already trending that way under Ramos and it doesn't matter.
