UNIVERSITY PARK -- SMU men's soccer coach Schellas Hyndman has turned down the opportunity to become Dallas Burn coach.
The Burn offered Hyndman a two-year contract, but Hyndman said he was looking for more security. Hyndman told Burn officials Monday he wouldn't take the position.
"It was a situation where we couldn't agree [on terms]," Hyndman said. "The situation is I'm very happy here at SMU. I've got great friends here. I was looking for the security like I have here. In the pro game, you get hired to be fired."
Hyndman, whose team will play Santa Clara on Friday in the first round of the NCAA tournament, told his team of his decision after practice Tuesday morning.
