This should have happened sooner last year right after the world cup imo. It will be interesting to see who Sunil appoints, but it's long over due that they get a world class, or at least established tactical coach, that can win matches while also hopefully guide player development. The problem is though Gulati along with the rest of the idiocracy running the USSF (who are far worse and more damaging to US Soccer than Bradley was btw) do not want to give up any aspect of control over team selection, player development, etc etc so most likely a "yes man", much like Bradley, probably from the MLS or already on staff will likely be given the job.
The federation certainly has the money and platform to attract an established coach, but with them unwilling to give up any control plus the fact that the current US pool of talent available is one of the weakest over the past 20 years, there might not much benefit to take the job. As I said before I was never a fan of Bradley, but even I will admit that he never had much to work with. Our backline along with our pool of defenders (due to the USSF's ignorant stance on developing defensive players and trying to get that "world class" striker over the last 10 years) is in shambles. Our quality in central midfield lacks from what it used to be, and while we have some talented attacking players they aren't dangerous enough to carry an entire country. I can see maybe Kreis being the first choice, but my wish list would be Ancelotti, Ranieri, Klinsman, or Lippi. Either way whoever does get the job will have their work cut out for them, and I wouldn't be surprised if we struggle to qualify for 2014 or miss it altogether.
