Rochester RhinosWith a New General Manager...Comes the Search for a Coach

Nov 04, 2009 | By: Ryan | Comments (2)

As alessio wrote about, Darren Tilley is out. Pat Ercoli is back, but as GM. Our roster is talented, deep, and ready to make a serious run for the USL-1 Title. We're just missing one, teeny tiny crucial thing...a coach. Now I do not claim to be a genius on USL-1, or even know many names in North American second-league soccer who are available to coach, but I do have an ego, which gives me more than enough reason to make a suggestion to the Rochester (Ragin' ...man I miss that adjective) Rhinos Management. Doug Miller.

First, who is Doug. If you don't know, then you were living under a rock during the 1990's. Doug Miller was a special class of striker, making plays that made MLS teams look dumb (hello Open Cup trophy). Doug Miller also currently resides in Rochester, having opened his own youth development team. Because of this, we can safely assume he has some knowledge of how to coach. Now before you all get on me about the whole difference between coaching kids and adults, I'm aware. And I have full faith in Doug that he can handle it. He will come in well respected by the players, and be able to make the difference we need.

Now I made my vote. Let's hear yours. And with any luck, The Rhinos Management (we all know they read this blog to make critical decisions, because let's be honest, we're awesome) will take our suggestions and we will bring some silverware to Rochester this season.

CHAMPIONS!!!!! MONTREAL 3, VANCOUVER 1

So I'm a few days late. I was celebrating with my club. There's nothing better than winning a championship at home!

Before the match started, the Ultras pulled out an impressive tifo with the word Victoire (Victory) spelled across it. The game was set: Victory or nothing!

The first half started out rather quietly, but soon enough, ...

Uphill Battle Ahead

We lost at home in front of a packed and raucous Swangard stadium. We did not play well, getting dominated in the midfield. And we're down a goal heading into hostile territory without our captain.
But this final is far from over.
There's still a lot of good that can be taken from last night's game.

Vancouver 2 - 3 Impact : Almost there...!

Coming home with a one-goal lead...it isn't much, but it's better that than being in the opposite position.

In the 45th minute, Stephen DeRoux's center for Roberto Brown went off a Whitecaps defender and into the back of the net.

In the 51st minute, Whitecaps Captain Martin Nash retaliated after a Roberto Brown tackle by providing ...

Impact 2, Islanders 1: will it be enough?

goforit

It was a cold night in Montreal, a chilly 7C (45F) at Stade Saputo, and while there were only 10000 or so sold tickets, it seemed like less. But, the ones who were there were certainly into it. Tony Donatelli once again showed why he's a clutch ...

VICTORY! Whitecaps 2-1 Timbers

JohnnyDramaVictory
The Whitecaps did what they needed to at home, winning the game and now having a slight advantage heading into Portland. Marcus Haber scored the winning goal in the 49th minute with a driven header off the post.
Charles Gbeke gave the Whitecaps an early lead with a diving header but Portland equalized just before halftime thanks to a very dubious penalty call.
