    Oviously Bob Bradley was the main component to the success of the Chivas USA franchise this year. Who knows what would have happened if they didn't get ripped off in the conference championship. Who do they get to replace him if he is hired as the national team coach or part of the national team staff? I heard Sampson, they can't be that stupid? Right? Does anyone have thoughts

    Your owners would have to be out of thier minds to let Bradley go. If Bradley is any part of the national team it will probably be at some assiatnt coach level...he can still be the head coach of Chivas if he's a USMNT assitant. Wasn't Steve McClaren (current coach of England) the head coach of Boro when he was Sven Boring's assitant?

    How about moderate success or maybe just improvement?

    I am not saying he didn't do a good, but did he do enough to warrant a real look from US Soccer?

    He took a team with the highest payroll to a .500 record. Ehhhhhhhhh.

    Then take a look at his mediocre (some might say that's being kind) 3 years with METRO. Again Ehhhhhhhhhh.

    I hope Bradley is so far down the list of candidates for the US job that even Stevie Nichol is lookin down at him.

    You are correct he was the manager of Middlesborough while the assistant. That would be the ideal fit for Bob. I read an article about the Chivas ownership talking about how if they might lose him to the national team.

    You are right on the national team position. I don't think he is close to being ready for something like that. What he did this year was pretty great considering the state of that franchise before he got there. You take one or two players out of that payroll equation (Garcia & Palencia) and they are back to the norm. From what I hear they have lost hope in Johnny O. That will help with the salaries. If it is just a hard look at the numbers you are right. I guess next year will be his real test

    Did he retaliate? Yes. As per rules, Red Card. So the answer to your question is yes.

    Back to the topic. Bob is not going anywhere. He is a good coach, hopefully he can do for Chivas what he wasn't able to do for Metro.
