Klinsmann for USA job?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Jones with a Scholes-esque over the top longball that Altidore actually controls perfectly and delivers a tasty cross for Dempsey to smash (while Bradley and the German players watch).
The difference between our top midfield and second line is huge. Bradley makes a major difference.
Brilliant goal from Dempsey.
Holy shit what a goal from Dempsey!
Keeper was too far off his line with the ball that near the box. Probably saves that if he's closer to his line.

He's on fire!
4-1! If we play like this against Jamaica, we'll be good.
fecking hell
On that shit match in ridiculous humidity?
Dempsey, Dempsey über alles!
It's pretty humid in NC right now, which isn't that far from DC.
Typical reaction from other threads when one mentions the US beating a legit national side. If they're winning it's because it's a B/C opposition. If they're losing it's because the US is shit. Ho-hum.
4-2. 
Dammit!
4-3. Not sure Tim Howard could put that on a plate any better for Draxler.
Great defending as usual. Sigh.
B/C team - whatever...I don't care!
Best piece of goalkeeping by that German keeper this whole match. Good reaction save on Jones' header.
Taylor Twellman: "Headballs"
WTF Boyd. No glory shots. Waste time.
That got a little scary at the end.
Highly entertaining game. The result will hopefully help us carry some momentum in to the WCQ. We need to win two of the three and draw the other. I'd rather win them all though.
All players fit, this starting XI is probably what we will see in this month's qualifiers. Evans did a decent job at right back. How long is Chandler out?
Are RBs like Franklin, Loyd and Morales not yet good enough that a midfielder plays there?
What does a player like Lichaj have to do to get in the US side?

Sorry, Germany was playing without:
Neuer, Lahm, Hummels, Boateng, Badstuber, Schmelzer, Khedira, Schweinsteiger, Gündogan, Kroos, Götze, Müller, Reus, Gomez, Özil
10 of them usually would be the starting players.
What you got is a team with one starting player (Klose), some regular bench players and a lot of players that would never have gotten an invitation if Bayern and Dortmund would not have played the CL final...
One of the most irritating terms ever invented on that side of the Atlantic. Hopefully it doesn't creep into the european/english footie vernacular.
And the German second string are still better talents than the US counterparts, save Dempsey and arguably Bradley and Howard. Or are we to believe Germany's second string shit?
Btw, I mentioned Germany only featuring a handful of regulars in the squad (in the England/Brazil thread) yet it's the same side the hammered Ecuador the other night.
We all know Germany was expected to win and if they had normal service resumes. Instead, roll out the "B/C side" excuses.
He just posted facts. You label them excuse, probably because you don't like what they imply. The US had a good game, but not against a 'legit' national side, as you called it.
What a response from the US. So easy to lose all composure after a late equalizer, but to come back and win it like that away in the Hex may be the biggest statement yet from Klinnsman's US side.
Who scored that winning goal? I now hate him.
Brad Evans. We played pretty well most of the game...
next two games are at home - Panama and Honduras...think we'll be taking care of business.
Was a massive result. The US controlled much of that match and that Beckford goal was so unjust yet typical. Came as a result of a stupid bonehead tackle attempt by Zusi that yielded a free kick to Jamaica. Fortunately, the US got a corner and Bradley managed to slip a pass into the box and Evans controlled fantastically and set himself up for a swivel-and-shoot. The attacking foursome were fairly quiet much of the match. Abysmal at times.
Sitting second in the table behind Costa Rica, both on seven points (technically first as they beat Costa Rica but the table has CR ahead on goal differential which I do not believe is the first qualifying tie-breaker - it's head-to-head) and Mexico third, also on seven points but having played an additional match. Take care of business this month, hopefully max six points, and qualification should occur with 2-3 matches leftover to trot out trialists.

Howard; Evans, Gonzalez, Besler, Beasley; Bradley, Cameron; E Johnson, Dempsey, F Johnson; Altidore.
Panama is missing their best striker, Blas Perez (sickness).

vivs was just on tv in her hipster glasses... 
lol foul on Dempsey and it come off the Panamanian.
These refs...the linesman is an idiot and the ref gave a foul to Panama when Dempsey got elbowed.
Brilliant team goal by Jozy! 1-0!
2-0!
What a pass from Cameron.
What a pass from Cameron.
That pass was amazing. And he's stuck at the back for Stoke...he's a pretty good midfielder.
I thought that was offside for sure until the replay. EJ played that perfect
