Kragthorpe: RSL makes Cassar latest casualty of following a great coach

Real Salt Lake » He joins Corbin and Crowton on list of those unable hang on after succeeding a legend

Real Salt Lake fired coach Jeff Cassar after studying him just long enough to determine that he's not Jason Kreis.

Monday's dismissal makes Cassar the soccer equivalent of Gary Crowton or Tyrone Corbin around here, cast in the role of following a highly successful coach and failing. RSL owner Dell Loy Hansen's move three games into the season is not completely surprising, in the sense that he's an impulsive guy and everybody understood Cassar's new contract carried a financial guarantee only through this season.
