Rumors have been swirling in the community \u2013 as franchises fill their rosters and coaches are appointed. Merk stopped playing professionally back in 2016 after a short stint on Team Liquid, and was the subject of rumors that stated he could be returning to an active role \u2013 this time as a coach. CoD insider @CDLIntel suggested that Merk could be on his way to Dallas, to act as coach for the franchise acquired by Team Envy. However, Maven has responded to the rumors, stating that he thinks it\u2019s \u201cfunny that people think Joe may return to play or coach. I would revoke that teams franchise slot immediately.
