re: A bit of sour grapes from Bob

Bob sucked arse as a manager.
On the field results he has done the same, if not better than Jurgen, but with less talent.
Off the field he got slammed unfairly, because he played his son, and he wasn't the big name foreigner that many US fans wanted.
As much as I'm not a Klinsman fan, but I think we will really see his true impact in 10 years.

Always liked Bob and thought he set us up well tactically.
He's right, and I felt the same way at the time.

The criticism he got for playing his son when Michael was still a young player can be forgiven because of the lack of a resume he had at that point. And the big name foreigner thing was real. US fans, and a lot of dudes on this board, wanted a manager with some street cred in Europe.
This is a pretty obvious thing to say but It should be noted that at the time we didn't know the kind of bad arse guy we had in Bob. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only real experience he had was in MLS before he got the national team gig. The shite he had to deal with in Egypt was unprecedented and he came out of it as a hero. Accomplishing what he did - A white American man coaching the national team during a revolution, along with the Port Said massacre and the domestic league shutting down for 2 years - he represented himself and our country in the best way possible.
I'm still behind Jurgen 100% because really I have no choice but to be. He isn't going anywhere until at least after this world cup cycle. But if it's clear after WC 2018 that we need a change, I think we'd be lucky to have Bob as our manager again.
