He butts heads with all the typical pundits which is why I like him so much.

Is herc low key taking a shot at Dolo there?

Yeah I don't get the first part. Dolo is 45. Most managers seem to coach into their mid 60s. The USMNT job will probably cycle at least 5 times in his career.

It may never come again.

It's not a shot.

LAFC is Dolo's first "top flight" HC job. It's not a shot at Dolo.

Lots of there candidates out there with better resume's and some with ties to USMNT.

The shot I'm referring to is about Crocker thinking we're dumb if they trot out Dolo.

Makes it sound like Herc is saying Dolo doesn't deserve it or isn't qualified.

Klinsmann was the most "qualifed" guy we ever had.

I don't really know who I want, but I don't think I'd be mad with Dolo. Dude was a highly successful player in Germany, a captain, and is less of a nepotism hire than ggg

It's not a shot Dolo. It's a shot at Matt Crocker trying to pull the wool over the fans' eyes. If they trot out Dolo as the next head coach this quickly after "chasing Klopp", then the whole coaching search was another lie.

So you're saying there's a chance…

Thank you coach Marsch. USSF needs more kicks in the balls like that to force real changes and a real overhaul.
Pahdz
How long do you want to ignore this user?
He's not wrong but Marsch is kinda a bag. He thinks he's in such a position of power now.

He's not wrong and he's got the luxury of holding the high ground speaking as the Canadian NT manager, but those are incendiary rounds he's lobbing at those bridges.

There will be no change, no overhaul, and you'll be happy with the new management…

Marsch came off as a jilted lover who's angry but still in love. Anyway you do you Jesse, but I'm not going to lose sleep knowing you may never coach the USMNT. I like you but not that much.

If you haven't seen this yet, it's worth a full listen.

Yeah, it's become plain that he expected to have the USMNT job handed to him earlier this year and when that didn't happen he's decided that was an organizational issue with USSF instead of anything to do with him. Which isn't 100% wrong - USSF is a mess! But also the dude has burned bridges all across Europe over the years and hasn't interviewed very well at all post-Leeds. I expect coaches to have chips on their shoulders but Marsch seems to enjoy making enemies. Which you can get away with when you've won consistently, but he hasn't.

And listening now to Hudson talk about the job - what a contrast between the two.

We should've hired Hudson or BJ.

At least they had the team looking better than they did under Ggg. My left nut could've coached them to the knockouts in the World Cup.

I like Marsch, but he does seem like a handful.

But he's also not wrong, the fact we did this investigation and then brought back Gregg is just so stupid.

He's not mad about that. He was under the impression from talks with ussf, that he was going to be hired. Then some combination of other front office people and players on the team made them go back on that decision nd hire gregg instead.
He's mad about how he was treated

I understand what he is mad about. But his position on US Soccer isn't wrong, and MY thoughts are that rehiring Gregg was dumb.

The best thing Jesse can do is to prove that this Copa wasn't a fluke for Canada.
oh no
How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
I think copa semi final was very flukey for Canada. Super lucky in group stage matches with RCs vs opponents. But they got better throughout. They risk conceding often but create chances to score often, just like Marsch's style at Salzburg, Leipzig, and Leeds.

Also, I think the USSF is dysfunctional, but don't blame them for not hiring a guy who was fired twice so recently like that.

I'm gonna manage my expectations and say this is just a ploy to get Spain to pay him more.

He's outrageously underpaid right now ($1.3MM).

A lot of people aren't going to like hearing it but Gareth is going to rocket to the top of the list methinks.

I'd find it really disappointing. Again, I go back to the Hudson video and I think he's spot on. We need someone who's known for exciting offense.

This is the rumored raise that Spain is offering. If true, my hope is north of zero now because this is still probably a low offer despite being a decent bump percentage-wise.



Shows a lack of respect amongst their execs for a guy they all probably still think of as their youth coach. It's like when the youth minister at a church gets promoted to lead pastor… none of the old guard will take him seriously.

I'll add though, that I still think this is really unlikely. We could probably offer a better salary, but I'm not sure our Fed would be willing to buy him out of his current contract that runs through 2026. Spain might play hardball.
