For Hood, once a longstanding coach with Police FC in the Trinidad and Tobago Premier League, pointed out that the TTFA's move came as a surprise. This, as he recalled a recent discussion with TTFA president Kieron Edwards on the future of the women's game in mid-June, and so he thought things "were heading in the right direction."
"At this time, I'm not certain about anything," Hood told T&T Newsday.
The tactician, who was appointed in 2023, believes he was making strides in the team's development, and as such, was looking forward to continuing with the rebuilding process with the programme.
Despite losing 6-0 and 1-0 to Mexico in last year's Concacaf women's Gold Cup qualifying campaign, Hood's side rebounded from a 2-1 loss to Puerto Rico to hold the same opponents to a goalless stalemate.
That, along with a positive display in the Caribbean Queen's invitational friendly tournament in Curacao, Hood felt was some semblance of improvement.
"I was very comfortable with how we were going and I felt we were heading in the right direction. The team needed to rebuild and we were doing that," Hood shared.
When asked if he would reapply for the job, Hood expressed uncertainty.
"At the end of the day, I'll have to decide if it makes sense to go through this process again. I don't know if I will re-apply," he declared.
