Generation Orange Generation Orange

Hosts Mark Segovia and Sean Ringrose close out the final episode of the season talking Houston Dynamo FC offseason, and discussing the hire of Ben Olsen to fill the Head Coach vacancy following the firing of Paulo Nagamura midway through the 2022 MLS Season. Does hiring Ben Olsen signal a shift in focus, or is this the move needed to elevate the club to the next level -- making the playoffs?

The guys also discussed the World Cup groups, and who they think will win each group.

This week Sean Ringrose was joined by ultra-special guest co-host, Hadee Zabed. Hadee and Sean discussed Houston Dynamo interim Head Coach, Kenny Bundy, and an article posted by Dustyn Richardson on Dynamo Theory about whether Kenny Bundy is the right guy for the long-term Head Coach position. Both disagreed with Dustyn's assessment, and both offered their reasons why he is not the right guy.

Also, they discuss the Houston Dash's first EVER NWSL Playoffs berth, and it is at HOME! PNC Stadium is going to be rocking, and you don't want to miss it! They talked about the Dash opponent, KC Current, and who to watch for on their team, as well as the players key for the Dash's playoff hopes.

Finally, they discussed the Yates Investigation and the massive 300+ page report which dropped yesterday. They shared their individual thoughts, and offered some very heated specific opinions.

Hosts Mark Segovia and Sean Ringrose dive into the latest Houston Dash results, examining what it will take for the ladies to secure their first ever NWSL Playoffs appearance. They shared their personal pick for NWSL Goal of the Season with Maria "La Bombi" Sanchez's strike over the weekend.

The guys also discussed the impact Kenny Bundy has had since becoming Interim Head Coach, and why even if the Dynamo win the remainder of their matches he should not be in serious consideration to become the next Head Coach. The Dynamo played at home against New England Revolution and demolished them 3-1, and Fafa Picault scored a well-taken PK, the team's second of the match though the first was saved. Fafa also scored a banger from the top of the box with plenty of fans calling for him to be part of the Goal of the Week nominations.

It is clear Bundy has been a major part of the freeing of certain players to just let them play the game their way, and it is clear the impact putting players in positions to succeed and do what they do best has elevated to quality of the team. Pat Onstad, GM of the Houston Dynamo, said it best in an interview on Glenn Davis' show last week: "This team should have been good enough to compete for the playoff spots." Bundy has proven Pat right, and the team are proving Bundy is more than ready for the next step -- even if that next step is not as Head Coach of the Houston Dynamo FC in 2023.

This is a new age of the club where mediocrity is no longer acceptable, where taking years to get it right is no longer an okay way of doing things.

The guys, Mark Segovia and Sean Ringrose, start the show off talking about Rachel Daly and her decision to not return to the Houston Dash. The club respected her request and transferred her to Aston Villa in England, where Daly is from. They talked about the impact of such a move for this team, and if Juan Carlos Amoros, head coach of the Dash, can overcome such an important loss for the club.

Then, the guys talked about the MLS All Star match and Skills Challenge, which Hector Herrera participated in -- and helped MLS to victory over Liga MX. Both hosts agreed that maybe the MLS All Star Match has no real value anymore for MLS clubs, and really even for MLS as a league. Chatters brought up that maybe Leagues Cup is a better overall entertainment and representation of the quality of play from both leagues for viewers, and maybe it should take the place of MLS All Star match.

Finally, they discussed the state of Houston Dynamo, and made it clear both support #NagaOut. Both feel Naga's lost the team and the players, and there is not much hope left as far as either are concerned.
