After a disappointing 3-12-3 start with 12 points, DC United's front office has decided to fire the head coach Curt Onalfo. Interim coach will be retired DC United veteran Ben Olsen. In my opinion I don't really think that coach got an honest chance to do anything with this team, most players was drafted before he entered the picture earlier this year and with the nasty hamstring virus that has been hitting the team hard he never really had a chance. To fire the coach, would only make a difference if the guys in the front office were fired with him, General Manager Dave Kasper and President Kevin Payne has for years been making bad decision's for this team; like signing Troy Perkins this season the highest paid player in DC United at seasons start, second best paid goal keeper in the league with the worst record in the league. Perkins was never a great goalie and will never be.
What Ben Olsen can do better as head coach instead of assistant coach is a mystery to me. Don't get me wrong I love Benny but with these players and front office nothing will change.
