I’d have dismissed Bradley after the World Cup, frankly, on the basis of his personnel decisions alone. The only problem is that Sunil Gulati gets to replace him.

Good points. Picking better personnel would have possibly given him a better defensive sub on the bench. IMO, Gulati needs to get replaced right along with Bradley, and the picking of our USMNT may want to stray outside of the ODP realm a bit. Some really good young players choose not to get involved with ODP. They are missing out on some great talent.

Great point about ODP. If I understand correctly, don't the players/parents have to PAY to be involved in that? That alone is probably eliminating some very good players.

As for Bradley, a little surprised at the timing, but not sorry to see him go; although I don't think coaching is the only issue with the US. No way.
