The2004San Jose Earthquakes season was the ninth season of the team's existence. It was the first under the guidance of Dominic Kinnear as head coach, following Frank Yallop's departure the previous December to coach theCanadian national team.[2]San Jose Earthquakes selectedRyan Cochrane with the 5th pick in theMajor League Soccer Super Draft after acquiring the pick in theJoe Cannon Trade. They also selectedSteve Cronin,Mike Wilson,Marin Pusek, andTighe Dombrowski. Midway through the season, they traded forWes Hart from theColorado Rapids andChris Brown from theNew England Revolution to help solidify their playoff run.Troy Dayak andEddie Robinson missed most of the season due to injuries. They called inTim Weaver from theSan Francisco Bay Seals andLeighton o'Brien for a number of games to fill out their bench. They didn't appear in any games. San Jose finished the last 7 weeks of the season without a win, coming down to the last game of the season against theDallas Burn needing a tie or a win to advance into the playoffs. They pulled out a 2-2 tie qualifying for the playoffs.
