MC, my dealings with Mr. Rhodes does not endear him to me, so I don't view him as a "great coach". It seems to me you make very valid points concerning girls soccer, but that boys soccer is not your forte'.
Many boys coaches at the club level are lauded for their on-field success after taking over programs built by others (one at NECSA comes to mind).
The Fire is a very good team and have brought great notoriety to S.C. club ball, but Rhodes is the lesser part of that equation. If all coaches housed the "star players" then many others could be successful as well.
