Joevin Jones has now played 27 games — including playoffs — with Brian Schmetzer as the Seattle Sounders head coach. In those games, Jones has 10 assists. It’s a rather remarkable number when you consider only two defenders in MLS history have tallied more than that in a single regular season and both of those instances were in 2000, when assists were given out like candy at Halloween.
It’s no wonder that Jones’ face absolutely lights up when asked for his thoughts on Schmetzer.
“I love Brian,” Jones said in a recent interview with Steve Zakuani.
