At that point I thought, this dude is one dumb mfer.
At this point I'm willing to give anyone a try.
Ggg got little out of his talent. The success he had was his team.

Idk, it seems like folks are holding out for a "highly successful" coach and I just don't think there are realistic options that fit that description. You'd have to pay $10 million to lure a proven guy to leave his European club or national team post and that's not going to happen I don't think. And sure, that troll account will trot out nearly decade-old MLS results to show who is and who isn't qualified but that's not in anyway related to how this job will be assigned. Applicants (who are all sort of mid-table club guys from what I've seen) will get to lay out their vision for where they'll take the USMNT. Fed leadership will consider their careers and the feasibility of the plan they're laying out and their systems of play and then weigh that against the risk and cost they'll bring with them.
Klopp ain't coming. Pep ain't coming. In fact the closest I could see is getting to some big, proven, splash international hire is Southgate and I know this fanbase would melt down if he's announced. We need to consider more than just records or trophies when evaluating the names on the list.

I just don't see how Vieira fits the "serial winner" profile Crocker talk about.
You're right.jeffk said:
He doesn't. Neither does anyone on the realistic finalist list that's floating around.

Having said that, he's still better than GreggPatrick Vieira’s record against Jesse Marsch and Gregg Berhalter.

I agree that the folks blaming it on equal pay are barking up the wrong tree… but this Fed reminds me of MLS. They seem more interested in investing in new facilities in Georgia than they do about investing in football.jeffk said:
Yeah, we're going to spend somewhere around $3-5 million I think. But spending that type money isn't an issue for the federation and it's weird that folks keep insisting that it is. Now $10 million for Pep or Klopp… that's a different story.

-If something isn't done by end of August, likely USSF is going further down the list.

I find it interesting that arguably the best available coach in the world is such persona-non-grata here that nobody ever even mentions him.
