Carolina Courage News Release
Morrisville, NC (August 11, 2003) - The Carolina Courage has decided to not renew the contract of head coach Jay Entlich and will commence a search for his replacement immediately, Courage General Manager Scott Travasos announced today.
Entlich, 31, was hired in February of this year. Under Entlich, the Courage posted a record of 7-10-4 and missed qualifying for postseason play, after winning the WUSA championship in the previous year.
"The decision to not renew Jay's contract was based on much more than just wins and losses," said Travasos. "While we were certainly disappointed with our record and not qualifying for the playoffs, those factors were not as significant as our philosophical differences."
The Courage will conduct an exhaustive search for a new coach.
"We have developed an internal list that reflects the ambition and commitment of the Courage to being a championship organization," said Travasos.
