Any thoughts on Poch's tenure & what he did for the team? The Reddit discussion seems to have a lot of parrots (bots?) saying "it doesn't matter we beat lesser 20-40th place teams" as if we've always beaten top 40 teams by 2-3 goals.

Imo he had us playing with the clearest identity we've had since the counterattacking Dempsey/Donovan/Howard teams.

I thought he did and said a lot of good things in a short amount of time, even if the World Cup ending didn't turn out how it should have.

I would have loved to have seen him with another 4 years, he could have made some real permanent strides in our program.

That being said, I get him not staying. Great job opportunity, he wants to work full time, and he's not American.

Outside of Jurgen who set the program back a full generation, I don't think he was any better or worse than any coach we've had since 2006.

At the end of the day, we are still where we've pretty much always been: A round of 16 team that is still overmatched once real European competition comes into play.

He had us going in the right direction and recently had a high priority on bringing in the younger guys to get them involved. We had some truly awesome highs with him, Paraguay game especially, but we weren't very consistent over his entire tenure. I'm thankful for his time with us.

He's eyed the open Man U job a few times over the last decade, so I'm not surprised at all that he took it. Although in that dumpster fire of a situation, I could definitely see him being unemployed by the end of the season.

A couple of positives from the USMNT side by him taking the Man U job though. I can definitely see him bringing in some US talent to Man U, specifically Balogun and Freeman. Never a bad thing for our guys to have that experience in the PL and that environment. Next, we need to use that $10 mil from his buyout and start wining and dining Pep yesterday. I'd LOVE to see what Pep could do with our young upcoming talent.

I want to give this a shot for the fun of it, but I actually think he’s a bad fit for our talent pool. We don’t have elite players to make it appealing or successful for him.
