		<description>Klinsmann is the man. I think with his drive, ambition and skills, the USA will have the best coach at a measly 2 mill. He did so much more than Pekerman and Sven. Remember, the Argentinians and English were much higher rated than the young German team. I like his new strategies too. I just read Mexico wants Klinsmann too, so USA, go get him.

		<description>NFL, NBA and MLB teams can pay that money because they have massive incomes. US Soccer isn&#039;t going hungry, but they&#039;re not in the same league financially.

JK may be worth $2 million a year, for the global name recognition as much as his coaching skills, but it&#039;s still a lot for a US national team coach. It would be three/four times what Arena was getting.</description>

		<description>Um, if the US can pay football and basketball coaches that much, why can&#039;t they do the same for soccer?  Of course those are different organizations, but still.  I agree with the person who said you pay for what you get.  After Klinsi&#039;s perforamnce at the World Cup, he is worth that, if not more.</description>

		<description>The record shows that for nations like the US that are not among the sport&#039;s major powers, their performance improves  in international competitions like the world cup only when they hire a foreign coach with credible experience in the sport.  If the USSF goes with a US coach with no international experience, then even the lower level South Africa team with a spent force as Brazil&#039;s Carlos Alberto Parreira (he did win a world cup) for a coach will perform better than the US in South Africa 2010.  The only nations who can rely on domestic coaches are the established footballing nations.</description>

		<description>Isn&#039;t $2 million actually a little on the low side for a top-flight international manager?  Sven-Goran Eriksson was making at least $5 million a year when he managed England.  (We&#039;ll leave aside questions as to whether SGE was actually a top-flight manager; what matters is that they paid him like one.)

I have no idea what structural changes he demanded at the USSF.  Maybe they were smart ones.  

I sort of have the sense that JK isn&#039;t as much a miracle-worker as we&#039;re hoping for, but I don&#039;t know that anybody is.  Gus Hiddink?  But do we want a guy who&#039;ll get us to perform well in one World Cup, or a guy who will help us build a serious long-term program?  Could we get both?

Questions, questions.</description>

		<description>Sorry, a correction:

I talked about the MLS instead of the USSF in my post.  But I think the points I make still apply.</description>
