Sigi Schmid was sitting outside an El Segundo Starbucks when a man dressed in a blue Best Buy polo shirt approached with a question.
Schmid said he was, posed for a quick selfie, then wished the young man well without ever bothering to correct him. Schmid, truth be told, was now the former coach of the Galaxy, having been summoned to StubHub Center and fired five days earlier.
But he will say little more about the Galaxy, silenced by the terms of a contract that will pay him for another 15 months. Curt Onalfo, fired last summer and replaced by Schmid, has a similar agreement.
