This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

In some ways they are in a better spot by miamioh_irishfan
I think the talent pool is deeper than it ever has been, and Klinsmann deserves credit for that. He also made a lot of progress in the technical development role, but I do think that area has a long way to go.
As fans of the sport, we're growing more knowledgeable and can better assess the tactics and strategy deployed by the manager, which puts the MNT program in a better spot overall.
I think it's definitely time to make the change in manager. He relies way to heavily on coaching superlatives like passion, trying hard and having a lot of intensity in hopes that will be enough to defeat an opponent. It's clear he is tactically deficient.
