Poll Results and is Freedom vs. Independence game final game for Gabarra?

The results of the VaSoccerNews Poll: "Should Washington Freedom replace Coach Jim Gabarra?" so far are posted below.


Now every website that covers WPS and the Washington Freedom are weighing in on the topic. Of course there are many different perspectives out there regarding Coach Jim Gabarra and the security of his position as head coach for the Freedom. However one question remains and might be answered following the upcoming match-up of Freedom vs. Independence, is this the final chance for coach Gabarra to save his job?

Win less in the last 10 games and in last place it would be very surprising to not see some sort of coaching change from Washington General Manager Mark Washo who just last week had this to say:
The mission of the Washington Freedom is: 'We are leaders in women’s professional sports. We win championships and awards. We strive to serve our community, while furthering the growth and development of women’s soccer.

Therefore it is fair to say that changes need to be made in order for us to achieve our stated mission this season. The entire team, players and coaching staff is currently under evaluation in order for us to draw appropriate conclusions as to what specifically must be changed to right the ship. The goal is still to make sure we are in the best possible position to make it into the post season and win a championship. Clearly time is of the essence at this critical juncture in the season. However with a win this weekend, we are right back in 3rd place and would clearly improve our overall situation.
I guess the fans, media, players, and coaching staff will find out soon enough.
