Hopefully we qualify, make a nice run, then go after a big fish for the 2022 cycle. Bruce is the perfect stopgap coach, and he knows how the Hex works. We need a strong performance in the March qualifiers to get back on track.

Bruce had his chance. This is beyond stupid

I think hiring a complete unknown when we're last place in the Hex would be stupid. Going safe for a couple of years makes complete sense to me.

Who would you rather have in this situation where we are past the midway point of the current cycle?

I would've gone with Ted Lasso

Wahl also guesses that Tab Ramos will be the permanent replacement post-2018.

I always thought what Bruce meant by the foreign born player comment is, we aren't making progress in the youth setup here.

I don't think he will throw away Fabian, Brooks, and others

Everyone loves Tab but he needs to show some actual success before we hand it over to him, IMO

For keeping us on course for Russia, he's a smart choice. I don't think we should plan to follow that up with him at the helm, though.

Who knows, though. If he gets us there and playing well, more power to him.

Definitely - seems like a GOB move if Tab ends up as boss in 2018.

I don't know that they could have pulled a long term solution right now with the WC cycle having already started. Bruce is a great stop gap for Russia and gives US Soccer time to get the right guy for the future.


these are my thoughts as well.

This, and he was 100% correct.

But the other meaning has merit. Guys like Boyd and Brooks are rarities. I firmly believe bacon, chandler, and green probably chose the US as a business decision. Which is fine, i guess, id rather have them in the pool than not, but you cant deny that the squad has lost a lot of the spirit, under jurgen, that it once had. And i think that has an effect in the lockerroom, the pre-snow classico leaks all but confirms it.
