Mediocrity no longer holds sway in Mile High land, as Colorado have finally done what they should have done a year ago and fired head coach Fernando Clavijo.
Clavijo will be replaced for the remainder of the 2008 season by Gary Smith, but we all know he's keeping the seat warm for Colorado's former fan favorite John Spencer, currently an assistant with Houston.
The Rapids front office tried to make it seem like it was Clavijo's decision. They even let him arrange a bogus "family medical emergency" to Uruguay to make it appear as if he left for personal reasons and not the stinking 40-49-25 record since 2005.
As of press time, the owners of the web site fireclavijo.com was still up and running. No doubt that the webmaster is out boozing it up in celebration of his successful campaign. Congratulations, how's poor Fernando going to feed his kids now?
An oldy, but a goody.

"We appreciate all that Fernando has done for this team over the last four years and wish him and his family the best," said Rapids' managing director Jeff Plush. "He has worked tirelessly on behalf of our organization and brought us some of our greatest successes. We are poised to achieve great things, and when we do we will look back fondly and appreciatively of Fernando's tenure with our club."
