When news broke Sunday afternoon that the San Jose Earthquakes had fired head coach Dominic Kinnear, it came as a shock to most. After all, the Quakes had beaten Real Salt Lake rather handily the night before, and the team had moved up to fifth place in the Western Conference. With the win, Kinnear pushed his third-best in MLS history total to 166, behind only Sigi Schmid (228) and Bruce Arena (202), and San Jose reaches the midpoint of the season with everything to play for in what should be an exciting postseason chase.
