After a long 2018 season finishing at the bottom of the league with eight wins total, the Colorado Rapids started 2019 in a similar fashion. The Burgundy Boys earned just two points in their first nine games and were on a six-game losing streak with no end in sight at the end of April. Things were not looking good.
Then the Front Office fired Head Coach Anthony Hudson on May 1st and named Conor Casey as the Interim Head Coach. Under Casey, the Rapids lost their next two matches, but then won four of the next five, tied a formidable Philadelphia Union side in Philly, and have earned 13 points out of a possible 15.
