DC's Kevin Payne is looking high and low for a new coach.
Some more news has come out today about DC United's on-going coaching search to replace Tom
Soehn. Yesterday we mentioned that Richie Williams is out of the running but a few more names have
emerged thanks to Steve Goff's latest report this afternoon.
The competition to be DC United's next head coach is heating up, and if Goff's hunches are correct,
it may be nearing a close. With the list now narrowed down to just Curt Onalfo and Caleb Porter,
with the possibility that other foreign coaches may also be considered, we will probably be hearing
an official announcement early next week.
Okay, so let me get this straight...the DC United front office has apparently told some of the
interested parties in the great managerial shuffle to move on because their dance card only has two
names remaining: Curt Onalfo and Caleb Porter. You...
If you've been following the Goffblog lately (and I know you have), you'll know that Akron boss
Caleb Porter has been advancing to the front of the FO's queue in the hunt for the next DC United
manager. So I decided to take a look at the Akron-UNC...
I don't claim to be much of an expert on college soccer. In fact, I only really became interested
in the College Cup to learn more about Caleb Porter to see if he would be a good fit with DC

the job but has decided to stay on with the Zips. The Akron Beacon Journal is reporting Porter has
signed an extension with the University for another five years.
The University of Akron announced today that they have agreed to a five-year contract extension
with head coach Caleb Porter, elminating him from DC United's search for a new coach.
Frankly I'm surprised. While Akron offers substantially more job security than a position in MLS,
it is likely less pay, less prestige, and less potential for advancement.
The FO swings...the FO misses. I'm confused and trying to figure out how I feel about this, so bear
with me as I work my way through it... Yes, Porter's Akron side were successful and played some
nice ball (from what I've been able to see), but...
