Thanks for listening to the show. I was solo on this, but fortunately, no technical issues. I broke down the week of action, including a big win at home against Minnesota, a hat trick from Petar Musa (who is legit), the letdown in Seattle, and North Texas back in action. In particular, I focused on the differences between Nico’s vision for play and…

As Peter Luccin took over FC Dallas as interim head coach last week, the coaching changes echoed throughout the entire organization. John Gall, having led North Texas to the top of the MLS Next Pro Western Conference, was promoted to assistant coach with the first team. That led to the next in line stepping up in his place, a guy who is no stranger…

I love asking FC Dallas head coach Nico Estevez about tactical questions.

Head coaches are not always comfortable dealing with media. It’s not necessarily why they got into the business, but the job description includes it.
