Ryan Johnson dismissed head coach Adam Foote and assistants Scott Young, Kevin Dean and Brett McLean, saying Vancouver will start its search for a new staff immediately.
Johnson said the club needs new coaching voices to lead a rebuild, reset culture and establish the habits players will need going into next season.
Foote lasted 1 season as Vancouver's 22nd head coach after being promoted on May 14, 2025, following an earlier stint as an assistant.
The overhaul follows a 25-49-8 campaign that underscored the team's struggles and pushed management toward a broader organizational reset.
