The long-running disaster that was the 2024 Chicago Fire season has finally come to an end, culminating in an abysmal home performance over the weekend to solidify this as the worst season by record in team history. Alex Campbell is joined by Joe Chatz to briefly eulogize, before they move on to discuss comments by Fire owner Joe Mansueto and new Director of Football and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter at last Thursday’s press conference. Finally, a Chicago pro men’s soccer team won a playoff game… kind of. It's all happening now on the CHGO Fire Podcast.

After weeks of smoke and rumors, it's official: Former United States Men’s National Team head coach Gregg Berhalter is the Fire’s new Director of Football and head coach. Is hiring someone for both jobs a smart idea? What does this mean for the Fire? What happens next? Alex is joined by Alex Calabrese of Men in Red 97 Media for this Emergency Podcast to break down the big news.
