The 2004 San 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 the Canadian national team. [2] San Jose Earthquakes selected Ryan Cochrane with the 5th pick in the Major League Soccer Super Draft after acquiring the pick in the Joe Cannon Trade. They also selected Steve Cronin, Mike Wilson, Marin Pusek, and Tighe Dombrowski. Midway through the season, they traded for Wes Hart from the Colorado Rapids and Chris Brown from the New England Revolution to help solidify their playoff run. Troy Dayak and Eddie Robinson missed most of the season due to injuries. They called in Tim Weaver from the San Francisco Bay Seals and Leighton 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 the Dallas Burn needing a tie or a win to advance into the playoffs. They pulled out a 2-2 tie qualifying for the playoffs.
