This is hella straw man.

No one wanted Sunil to make the hire. The hope was that our next president would have the ability to make a sound hire, you know like every other international federation.

Instead we got Sunil puppet Cordeiro who was elected in February of 2018.

Berhalter wasn't hired until December of 2018. In the time between, an arbitrary GM position was created to make a hire and that meant we went a full year with Dave fricking Sarachen and it completely stagnated our program, giving it no direction and no hope a year after we reached our lowest point.

Will Parchman said it best on twitter. The worst thing about the USMNT over the last year is that after a match loss, you don't see much complaining, you just don't see really much of any reaction anymore outside of a few diehards.

Apathy has set in with the program and it is stunting our growth immensely.

Do you seriously not remember the outcry for fewer presidential powers, including being the sole guy in charge of hiring firing the coach?

Part of that has to do with essentially using a U23 team for a calendar year. Hard to get too upset about a team of 21 year olds losing.

Growth of what. Monetarily? Sure. It has nothing to do with results on the field or the development of players at their clubs. If anyhing, its making the young guys try harder, because they see that there are opportunities to grab a roster spot.
