Congratulations to him. May he do well (except against TFC).
Good for him. They've been talking for months, supposedly.
Hope we whip his ass in a few weeks.
“Conspiracy ensco” finds the timing of this fascinating. Colorado has needed a manager for months.
I suspect Fraser was going to be the manager of an MLS team by Monday, the only question was, which one?
Also - good for him. Congrats Robin.
You always want your club to be a place where people can get big opportunities. That's part of what's required to attract the best people.
It was reported months ago that the Rapids wanted him. Now why it took so long for him to accept...
He has been a loyal servant to this club and never let ego get in the way. Good for him, and good for Vanney and Manning to let him take this opportunity at this moment.
Congrats to Robin. Will be interesting to see how the staff is restructured moving forward, does someone move up from within the organization or does Greg have someone in mind?
I gotta say I don't know if Colorado is the job I would want to try to get my head coaching career off the ground. All the best to him though and I hope it works out.
Rapids coaches are hired to be fired.
He'll be back, and in charge of this team, within 10 years.
I'm of the mind that was the case as well. I'm happy he's getting a chance to be a head coach again. I wish him the best of luck turning things around over there.
I'm also very curious to see how Colorado plays next year and if there are TFC-esque formations and tactics used. I hope they give him at least 3 transfer windows to implement his style of play.
If you looked up "class act" in the encyclopedia, there's sure to be a picture of Robin Fraser there.
Great servant, and a good man. Thanks for helping us on to glory and all else you've contributed behind the scenes.
Have a sneaking feeling management see this as an opportunity to get in Vanney's replacement; will be interesting to get a read of Vanney's reaction to whomever's brought in to fill Fraser's shoes.
Curtis will probably replace him with someone from Duke circa 2000.
Shane Battier has a good head on him and is available.
Wheeler just tweeted from the Politburo that Fraser is not being immediately replaced, but they will be looking internally if they choose to replace him.

Sounds like they are thinking through their options.
Would be great if we could convince Cheyrou to come back and be assistant coach.
I would have been very surprised if TFC named an assistant - there is no reason for management to play games with Vanney's head right now. I get there is a lot of conspiracy theory stuff going on right now but Curtis' doesn't look better by TFC not making the playoffs.
We got 75k in GAM from the Rapids for Fraser. Not bad.
Also - I wonder if the Raipds end up trading for a TFC player or two in the offseason.
Danny would be a great choice for a promotion to the first team. But I am not sure he would look at it that way. From what I understand he is all about youth development and I can see him wanting to stay within the academy setup. Plus he has already been a first team assistant so he already knows what it would be like.
