I know everyone here is hoping that Donovan lights it up in Brasil, but as far as 2018 is concerned I believe he will be there, but not as a player, as a media personality.
Sorry, but in spite of your intended sarcasm, I still believe you are naive to believe JK was hired to only provide wins in the WC. As to what should be the role is another question entirely, one that wasn't asked, and yet you nevertheless answered.
If you think the USSF hired a technical advisor to take the role of manager of our NT, you may be right. It's as much as I suspect. And I think it's a gross mistake. Unfortunately, since the average American fan is almost as blinded by the fairy dust from Europe as the Canadian fans are by their atavistic worship of England, I'm convinced even if he fails in July and fails once again in Russia, he'll stick around if so he wishes.
