Before you jump right down to the comments, hear me out.
Historically, the Colorado Rapids have not been a good team. We know this. They’ve made bad signings and had bad records. They had a decent run in the playoffs in 2016, but then completely tanked under Anthony Hudson. The club had some work to do to gain the respect of their fan base, first of all, but also everyone else.
When Executive Vice President and General Manager Padraig Smith and Senior Vice President of Business Operations Wayne Brant made the (absolutely correct) decision to fire Hudson, all eyes were on Colorado when Conor Casey started turning things around.
