    Off topic, but Portland: Caleb Porter resigned as Portland Timbers coach. Rumor is he is being considered as the next manager for the US National Men's team, but no official word as to why.

    The man led the Timbers to the 2015 MLS Cup Championship and three playoff appearances in his 5 year coaching stint.

    This is quite a shock to me. I get it if he's going to head the USMNT or a top level team in Europe. I didn't think he would be in line to take one of those positions yet though. I think he's a great coach. He can be an arrogant SOB, but I think that is part of what makes him successful. I will forever remember our title in 2015! RCTID!

    Interesting thought. The US soccer federation needs to elect or re-elect a president early next year so I'd be surprised if Caleb already has the job lined up.

    I loved Porter. Really bummed to see him go.

    I think he's going to take over the Cincinnati USL club in preparation for their move to MLS (though the move is not imminent). Full control of player personnel and coaching. That's the rumor I've read that makes the most sense. They have an incredible fan base for USL and a 40,000 seat stadium. I hope they make the jump. Would be a great addition to MLS.

    I seriously doubt he's going to be the next USMNT coach.

    I'm going to miss him.

    Thanks for the trophy, Caleb. We hadn't won one since 77.
