    I was wondering what Dave Dir was up to these days...

    Dave Dir joins Rapids coaching staff

    He replaces departing assistant/GK coach Dave Kramer who's leaving for "other opportunities". Kramer was the last coaching hold-over from the Gary Smith staff (the training and equipment staff is still the same).

    Remind me, how many of Dallas' playoff losses to Colorado was Dir responsible for? :D

    Only one, in '97. LA was a bigger bête noire, eliminating the Burn in '98 and '99.

    Well, at least we know who'll take over for Pareja if, say, the Rapids miss the playoffs this year (seems likely) and the bottom falls out on them sometime in the middle of next season (who knows).
