Hyndman on TD Search

November 6th, 2009 . 12:54 pm . By: Buzz Carrick

FC Dallas has said they are looking for a Technical Director, but according to Hyndman the search isn’t really underway as FCD doesn’t even have a job description yet.  The goal, Hyndman says, is to have someone by the combine which takes place in mid January.

Here’s what Hyndman said yesterday.

We really haven’t had a sit-down official meeting on this but we hope to have it in a couple of weeks. I think in a week or a couple of weeks, I probably need to review this season, go through all the things like ratings of the players, evaluations of players and we’ve got an Expansion Draft coming up. We’ve got this and that and a lot of other things. So we have been pretty aggressive on being proactive with different scenarios.

This one came to us just about a week ago or so. A job description needs to be put in place-what are we looking for and what are the responsibilities? There are people already applying. I think it would be nice to have somebody here before the combine because that’s going to be a pretty big event. If that person is here before the combine, then that person is now involved in the draft. I don’t think if that person came on board tomorrow that they would do anything we’re not doing now. We’ve got conferences and college games that we’re scouting and evaluating players. I think the sooner the better only so that there can be an organizational chart in place.

    That they have not had a sit down meeting is unfortunate but not surprising.

    Wow, why would he get a say in what the TD job description is? I mean isn’t that above the typical coach pay grade? Clearly, they are hiring a monkey for SH with this. Jeez.

    In this organization right now, SH is above everyone. The TD will be “assisting” Sh as per the first release on Hitch non-renewal.

    Wouldn’t it make sense to get a job description from the Crew?

    Since when does HSG, at least with respect to FCD, do anything with common sense?

    As long as the job description isn’t “Yesman”, this should be a boon to the organization.

    Did Yesman coach at the university of Tulsa?

    Buzz,
    Heard any confirmation or dispute of the Jorge Campos rumor?

    Bus boy is in charge. FCD will have less points at the end of next saeson than this one. Hitch was CAP’s boy so I imagine that “partnership” is over. I predict David plays in Dallas until loan is over or until Bus boy pisses off CAP. With Bus boy in charge I can see an avg of 5500 per game for the 2010 season.
