Wednesday, it was announced that Wade Barrett would not be offered the full time head coaching gig with the Houston Dynamo. If you missed it - Barrett took over as the interim coach 20 games into the 2016 season after Owen Coyle decided to head back to England to be near his family (not because of the new coaching gig he got there, nope, that’s not why he left at all). While the team showed improvement under Barrett the team still finished last in the Western Conference.
Many thought that Barrett would be given a shot at the gig permanently after the season ended.
