Today the Rapids announced that head coach Robin Fraser has agreed to a contract extension that takes him through the 2025 season. This is great news, and the biggest signing the team could make right now. While we still need a DP, Fraser is worth more points than any single player signing could be. He's taken this club from the bottom of the barrel with Anthony Hudson (not slighting Conor Casey's interim work her though) to the best PPG in the league (tied) since he took over the club. Not only that, but he's done it in a way that is sustainable and repeatable. That's something we've never had as Rapids fans before.
Assuming things don't go sideways (or he's not poached) and the MLS season stays at 34 games next season, Fraser will set the record for number of games* as head coach with the second game of the 2024 season. He only needs 60 more points to set the record for most points by a head coach, which we should expect to hit sometime in the 2023 season. Mooch Myernick is the current record holder in both categories.
I've also heard a rumor that a new contract for GM Padraig Smith may not be far behind...
