"We're an organization that wants to be focused on growing from within, and we've had truly two players sign first-team contracts after being with the Monarchs," Waibel said. "This is just a continuation of that. I think that the natural progression of a coach is be a head coach in USL, become an assistant in MLS and then possibly become a head coach. That's kind of our model. It's not everyone's model, but we certainly believe in the growth from within. We felt that Freddy's job is multi-layered when he was with the Monarchs."
