uneducated guesses at candidates to be the New Randy

Omar Morales: Been on the team for all of 2 months and is now the interim Dash manager. Head coach at Eastern New Mexico for 3 years. Blank slate. If picked, the timing of his hiring is awfully interesting--if the Dash hired Randy’s successor in March, Randy was effectively a dead man walking from the start of the season.

Marcelo de Siqueira Campos L. Galvao: The Dash’s other assistant coach, since 2015. Brazilian. Has some NAIA head coaching experience, but otherwise keeps a low profile. Seems even less likely than Morales.

Butch Lauffer: Longtime coach and literal textbook writer on soccer tactics, coached with Randy Waldrum, mentored Morales at Eastern NM. Coaches at Western Texas A&M, lifelong Texan. Seems unlikely if the Dash want to break from the Waldrum style, but who knows.

Angela Kelly: Head coach at University of Texas since 2011; previously a player and assistant under Anson Dorrance at UNC. Former CanWNT and USL W-League midfielder. Oversaw Abby Smith’s development into a collegiate star (hi Jane Campbell hi, hello, hi~). Longhorns made their first national rankings appearance under Kelly in 2012 and turned them into a recruiting power. Not a dude!

Matt Ross: 1. Frankfurt FFC manager in Frauen Bundesliga, elevated from interim after Colin Bell went to Avaldsnes. Australian, and has some US connections via Sophie Schmidt (ex-Sky Blue) and Yuki Nagasato (now on CRS). Could be on the hot seat after a 5th-place finish (though with a small roster and a long string of prominent exits). Frankfurt also lost a sponsor, and Ross has dealt with some recent player drama over communication--something that, for better or (likely) worse, might make him a good fit for Houston.

Nick Cushing: If Carli Lloyd wants to bring back a souvenir from Man City, she could do worse than the manager who led MCWFC to the FA Cup and Champions’ League. Man City would probably pitch a fit, and it’s unlikely the Dash would compete on salary. Has 2 years’ experience leading Man City, and at 32 would be only a couple years older than NWSL baby coach Mark Parsons.

Any coach who previously had a US pro soccer head coaching job (Tom Durkin, Lisa Cole, James Galanis, Albertin Montoya, Charlie Naimo, Aaran Lines, Abner Rogers): Don’t underestimate the smallness of the women’s soccer coaching world. Any of these coaches are likely on most teams’ standing coaching lists. Of special note is Galanis, who coached the WPS Atlanta Beat, but more relevantly has been Carli Lloyd’s personal coach and trainer for years.

Daniel Clitnovici: Has head coaching experience with the Colorado Rapids Women and Colorado Pride. Last seen in the pros as an assistant coach and academy director for the NWSL Flash. Villanova picked him up as an assistant earlier this year after the Flash evacuated Rochester. Known for a high-press attacking style that would be a good fit for the Dash, and also for the Colorado Pride’s 10-match shutout streak in 2014, when he won USL W-League coach of the year.

Ben Dragavon: GK coach for the Seattle Reign since 2013, promoted to assistant coach in 2017. US Soccer has a vested interest in developing Jane Campbell, and Dragavon’s coached Hope Solo and Haley Kopmeyer. No head coaching experience, but has worked closely with Laura Harvey since the Reign’s inception and seems to be climbing the ladder.

Ben Waldrum: Don’t laugh. He’s been running FC Dallas Women extremely well (14-0-0 in 2016, lost in the conference finals to the CRS reserves), and has a USSF A license and a ton of academy and youth development experience. There’s a possible--maybe even likely--scenario where Ben succeeds his dad as Dash head coach, and Randy ends up working for Ben as a technical adviser for the Dash academy.

Leonardo Cuéllar: Former and longtime Mexico WNT coach, now managing Club América in Liga MX Femenil. Not terribly popular with the NT at the end of his tenure, but has decades of experience and could recruit well across the border. FeMex might step in if they’ve gone completely cold on the NWSL and want him to stay with the fledgling Liga MX Femenil.

Andrea Rodebaugh Huitrón: Ex-Mexico WNT captain for a span that included the ‘99 WWC. Went to college at Cal and has managed the Mexico U20s. Currently managing the Xolas in Liga MX Femenil, where they recently lost in the inaugural cup tournament finals. Still early in her coaching career, but experienced at 50. Not a dude!

Jorge Barcellos: One of the few former Brazilian national team coaches with prior experience coaching a US pro team (St. Louis Athletica). Currently coaching Kindermann SC (featuring WNT defender Barbara) to decent form in Brazil’s league and is unlikely to jump ship mid-season.

Keidane McAlpine: USC’s head coach since the 2014 season, where he’s rebuilt the Trojans into a Pac-12 and national powerhouse. His last roster won the national championship and included Sammy Jo Prudhomme, Morgan Andrews, Mandy Freeman, Savannah Levin, Kayla Mills, and Katie Johnson, all of whom are pros (and all but Levin went in the 2017 NWSL college draft). Also led Washington State to two years of Pac-12 success. Would be the only black NWSL coach.

Amanda Cromwell: UCLA’s head coach since 2013. Does a better job at UCLA bringing in and developing international talent than most NWSL coaches. Her rosters have included Sam Mewis, Abby Dahlkemper, and Jessie Fleming--and Mal Pugh, however briefly. Darian Jenkins did so well under Cromwell that she got drafted and signed by the Courage despite a devastating injury in October that’s kept her on the Courage’s DL. One of the winningest coaches in NCAA history (289 wins, .698%), not just active but all-time, thanks to 14 years and a 203-83-26 record at UCF. Has 55 USWNT caps and was on the US Soccer Board of Directors and NCAA rules committee. Not a dude!

Anson Dorrance, Cindy Parlow Cone, Tony DiCicco: Longshots despite high profiles and prior pro-league involvement. Cone’s the only one of this group I see even being remotely likely due to her continued involvement with US Soccer.

Patrice Lair (PSG) or Gerard Precheur (OL): Lol. Both on their way out, but there’s no way they consider the Dash as an opportunity, even if the Dynamo group uncharacteristically start throwing tons of money into the Dash.

Abby Wambach: Her name comes up for almost every US pro women’s soccer coaching job for no good reason other than it’s Abby Wambach.
