   (November 24, 2004) , Don't expect Webster native Brian Bliss to be the next coach of the Rochester Rhinos.
   
   The Rhinos have expressed an interest in speaking with the Kansas City Wizards assistant, but Bliss said he will first pursue the MLS head coaching vacancy in Colorado.
   ...
   "I'm somewhat interested in Rochester," said Bliss, 38, who just completed his fifth year as a K.C. assistant after two seasons as head coach of Connecticut (formerly A-League).
   
   "I know it's not MLS, but I also know it's the premier franchise in the A-League (now called the USL First Division), plus there's the hometown factor. Going home as a player or coach is always intriguing."
   
   Bliss said Colorado officials recently asked for permission to speak with Bliss, who has been vacationing in London.
   ...
   Bliss was a candidate to coach the United States Under-17 national team, but he said he didn't get that position. Even if Bliss doesn't find his Rocky Mountain high and get the Colorado job, he still wonders if dropping down a level to the USL First Division is the right move if he wants to be an MLS head coach.
   
   "I don't want to leave Rochester hanging, but I'm not even sure I'd make that move if the Colorado thing doesn't happen," said Bliss, whose playing career included three MLS seasons, 44 appearances with the U.S. national team (1984-95), including the 1988 Olympics and 1990 World Cup.
