As he walked off the practice field recently, Brian Schmetzer was greeted in a manner usually reserved for players.

Schmetzer is a popular guy these days after leading a remarkable turnaround that has landed Seattle in Saturday's MLS title game at Toronto with a chance to add a major piece of hardware missing from the club's trophy case.
