What do you think about the recent front office hiring at TFC?

– Jeffrey Nesker, Toronto Till I Die Show

In case you missed it last week, Toronto FC announced the appointment of Sean Rubio as its new technical director, the latest in a series of hirings that included incoming coach John Herdman bringing in a new staff to assist him.  

As part of his duties Rubio will oversee the management of the infrastructure and operation of the club's scouting department. He’ll also work in tandem with general manager Jason Hernandez in terms of player acquisitions for the first team and TFC 2.
