Houston Dynamo FC have announced the promotion of Jeremy Hurdle to head coach of Dynamo 2. Hurdle has served as interim head coach since February of this year. He becomes the third head coach in Dynamo Dos history, following Kenny Bundy and Marcelo Santos, who are both now assistant coaches with the first team.
"It is an honor to be named head coach of Dynamo 2, and I am excited to continue working with this talented group of players and staff," said Hurdle. "Over the past four years, I have been fortunate to coach players at both the Academy and Dynamo 2 levels, and it has been rewarding to watch so many of them grow as players and people. I am excited to keep building on that work, help our young players continue their development, earn meaningful opportunities and prepare them to make the jump to the first team."
Hurdle joined the Dynamo organization in 2022 as the U-15 head coach. He rose through the ranks and became an assistant with Dynamo 2 in 2025. He twice served as interim head coach of Dos before now being named the team’s head coach.
"We are excited to appoint Jeremy as the permanent head coach of Dynamo 2," said Houston Dynamo FC assistant general manager Nick Kowba. "Throughout his four years with the Club, Jeremy has been an integral part of our player development pathway, first in the Academy and then as an assistant coach with Dynamo 2. His deep understanding of the Club’s movement to produce local products for our first team, combined with the strong relationships he has built with our young players, makes him uniquely positioned to guide their transition from the Academy to the professional game. Since taking over as interim head coach, Jeremy has also demonstrated his ability to lead the group, highlighted by a team-record 11-match unbeaten streak to start this season. Dynamo 2 plays a vital role in preparing players for the first team, and we are confident Jeremy is the right leader to continue developing talent and strengthening that pathway."
This season, Hurdle led Dynamo 2 to a team-record 11-match unbeaten streak to open the year. He was named MLS NEXT Pro Coach of the Month in March and April and Dos was named Team of the Matchweek on three occasions. Under Hurdle, the Dynamo 2 has seen a number of players sign Homegrown contracts with the first team, including Matthew Arana, Mattheo Dimareli, Logan Erb, and Reece Miller, and other Academy products sign their first professional contracts with Dos.
We had the chance to sit down with Hurdle to talk about his promotion and all things Dynamo 2. Be sure to catch the full interview on our podcast feed and YouTube channel.
