KC Wizards fire coach Bob Gansler

The Kansas City Wizards are set to make a major announcement today at 2pm ET. Reports out of local sports circles indicate that coach Bob Gansler (pictured) has been let go and that Brian Bliss will take over as interim head coach.

Kansas City has lost six in a row and sit just 2 points above Columbus for the final playoff spot in the East.

I was planning on writing a post later today or tomorrow about what was going wrong in KC, but it seems I was trumped by actual events.
