Dave Dir Hire Keeps Colorado’s Technical Staff Moving Forward

The hiring of Dir isn't anything too drastic or surprising, but it does signal that the years of Smith and Clavijo are indeed at an end. The man that Dir is replacing, David Kramer, was the last bastion of the team's coaching staff from Clavijo's era and was one of the few remaining from Gary Smith's three seasons as well.

If the team continues to build a coaching staff with a strong MLS and youth building pedigree, it can only mean good things. That, after all, was one of the reasons I liked the Pareja hire so much in the first place.
