It will be tough for Teal and others to leave early after Porter set quite an example by turning down DC United. Really though, this is the safe road for Porter, who will be a college coaching legend on par with Jerry Yeagley from IU if he stays in the college game long enough. Akron's committment to soccer is outstanding and obviously paying dividends. There are a couple of pro prospects on this Akron squad.

That's to be greatly admired. A young 35-yr old coach turns down an MLS job for a college job. That man clearly understands that he has a great future of coaching ahead of him, and is not jumping at the temptation of a reallly huge responsibility. Good work! Wow! That’s to be greatly admired.
