FC Dallas: Officially Laughable

It has been roughly two weeks since Steve Morrow was removed as the head coach in Frisco, and the only thing clear about the coaching situation is that Jose Mourinho and Sven Goran-Eriksson are no longer in the picture. Truth be told, those two men were never in the picture in the first place.

Whether or not Morrow should have ever been removed is arguable in and of itself, but one thing has become clear: Marco Ferruzzi is not the answer for FCD. It's time for a swift resolution to this situation before the season is completely lost.

I'll be the first to admit I was very critical of Morrow early in the season. His decision to play a three-man defensive line was never tactically astute, nor is any coach who would dare to pretend that Dario Sala is an acceptable number one keeper in any league other than your local Sunday afternoon recreational league.

What was worse on Morrow's part was his reluctance to move away from the 3-5-2 and give Davino and Co. more help. He seemed to miss the most fundamental of rules in all of sports: to win you must outscore your opponent.

However, Morrow needed more time. This team preformed exceptionally under him last season despite being forced to play that wretched excuse for a soccer player that Denilson has become. Morrow obviously won't be brought back in to lead this team, but he deserves another shot in MLS... once the league decides it's time to grow up.

The real culprit in Dallas though is clearly Michael Hitchcock. The Dallas GM has failed to deliver on all of his promises. His handling of the Denilson situation would have handicapped this team if Morrow had not insisted on the escape clause after the first year of the contract.

It was Hitchcock who also promised nearly a dozen sell-outs by the end of this summer; he's currently on pace for three of those. But the most disgusting thing from a fan's standpoint is that two weeks into the search we've neither hired or moved on from the clear frontrunner for the Head Coach vacancy.

Schellas Hyndman is the head coach at Southern Methodist University, a good friend of the Hunt family (who own FCD), and the clear front runner for the job. But that's all we know.

Is he interested in the job? We don't know? Has he been offered the job? Before yes, but for the current vacancy we have no idea.

Hyndman has been a long time target for the Hunt Sports Group. They have offered him the job on several occasions and are more than prepared to make him the Czar of Pizza Hut Park. It's time to get moving.

After a run of three games with three red cards for FCD, it's very clear that this team is shockingly devoid of leadership. That void very clearly starts in the GM's office.

It is time to name a coach and if it's not Hyndman, it's time to talk to Bruce Arena. But more importantly, it may very well be time to make a change in the GM's office.

Please, for the sake of the FCD faithful, just do something positive before it's too late.
