If Bob Bradley is to coach in MLS again, which teams need him?

First team I thought of too even though I see they are playing... "better" now.

 

I'd say DC but I don't think they'll give up on Onalfo just yet. He didn't inherit a great team and I think they'll give him time to build. I'm not saying he'll build anything good, but they'll give him the time.

NE hasn't done much the last few years and I could see management giving him the boot (unfortunately). However, I don't think NE would pay what Bob asks. Kraft is pretty cheap and would probably want close to lower part of the league.

Also, TFC go through coaches pretty quick and Preki isn't exactly building bridges with everyone and I think they would pick him up.

 

Yeah, I was kind of confused by that too. Findley is a great player and shows real promise, but he's inexperienced internationally right now. Why Buddle and Gomez were benched when Buddle has been on fire and carried that over to the Australian friendly, I'll never know. Bummer. I still like Bob Bradley and he has done a lot of the US team. I'd like to see him back in MLS.

 

Chivas USA.

DC

Dallas

Houston (exchange for Kinnear?)

 

DC definatley, and if not that maybe Seattle or one of the two expansion teams.

 

Heh. If you believe some of the more irrational Sounders fans, a Sigi for Bradley trade would be a welcome change.

 

Whether you like it or not, Bradley has proven to be a very good coach with Chivas and Chicago (Nobody wins in NY, not even Arena or Bradley). He would be a nice helper for any MLS team even as a youth academy coach or something.

 

I really don't think he'll get fired from the USMNT... He has made some poor choices that I think any fan with decent knowledge would have corrected. Findley, Clark and Bornstein the 3 muskeeters!

Shame that Bradley wasted many of our type guys prime. Donovan, Dempsey, Bocangera, Howard will all be over 30 by 2014.

 

Bornstein actually played fine. It was Clark and Findley he should've had as subs. And Altidore didn't do much either to start and play every minute. He was in poor form over at Hull. I would've rather seen Buddle or Gomez in a little bit more. Oh well.

 

Preki is acttually changing the attitude of that team, they are a tougher team that dont give up many goals, I honestly think that TFC will sneak into the playoffs.

It will probably be Chivas USA because they are horrible this year.

 

Well Hans Backe seems to be doing pretty well so far

Back on topic...

I think that if Kansas City keeps playing at their current level Bob Bradley would be a pretty coach for that franchise. Not to mention if they get the DP they want and with their new stadium this is a team that can have some good success.

 

Give him to one of the expansion teams. Might be able to milk that and temporarily draw some crowds just because of his somewhat celebrity status now.

 

I dunno.. I'm pretty sure the USMNT coach wouldn't be that big of a draw for a Canadian team.

 

It could draw some US fans up there. Vancouvers a great place.

 

my vote is dallas, but i am biased.

 

The closest American fans are equidistant between Vancouver and Seattle. Factor in the border crossing and Seattle is closer time wise.

Not to mention, Vancouver is already going to sell out BC Place with Canadians, they don't need Americans coming to their games. The Whitecaps have already sold had about 13k ST deposits and are capping it at 16k.

 

I don't see why not, Bruce Arena did. And look what he did to the Galaxy.

 

Do you see a European club takng an American coach? I don't...

 

If Bob had balls, he'd take a job in Europe. It doesn't matter at what level... we need to start exporting coaches along with players.

 

It's a tough nut to crack, but I would love to see an American coach make the jump. His demeanor would be a better match to Europe than Arena, especially as the groundbreaker as far as American coaches are concerned. I can't see Bradley coaching at the top levels of any of the top five or six leagues, but he could maybe get a shot at a smaller club somewhere like Scotland.

 

I'd be happy to have Bradley back at DC United again.
