Also apparently there is no mandate to keep men and women's US coaches equally paid, in that case go after Jurgen and open up the bank
Welp that was fast lol. They had to at least ask, he's easily the most accomplished unemployed coach out there, the worst thing he could do was say no.
I think Nancy would be a home run pick, what he is doing in Columbus is amazing.
So to be devils advocate here (rightfully or wrongfully) MLS managers (some with arguably higher profile than Nancy) don’t exactly have a track record of making going from MLS to top five leagues. I think a stint with USMNT would likely be Nancy’s best route to a decent job like thatNancy seems like a guy easily on the path to a top 5 league job. Not sure why he'd want to disrupt that with an international interlude.
I think it only helps him if he exceeds WC expectations by quite a bit. Winning most CONCACAF tournaments and getting into WC knockout stage is pretty much the expected norm for US managers. While I think it has some benefits, especially with a home WC, I just don't see the US team as an attractive career booster for those with club ambitions--high floor and low ceiling.So to be devils advocate here (rightfully or wrongfully) MLS managers (some with arguably higher profile than Nancy) don’t exactly have a track record of making going from MLS to top five leagues.

Right but where is the pipeline of MLS only coaches getting European jobsI think it only helps him if he exceeds WC expectations by quite a bit.

It will start somewhere, just like the player side did.Right but where is the pipeline of MLS only coaches getting European jobs
Well until then…It will start somewhere, just like the player side did.
probably a negotiating tactic with his federation, but if he's genuinely interested I'm down.
Nancy feels like the best coaching option to make the transition to Europe in some time.Well until then…
Didn’t Jesse Marsch do that?Right but where is the pipeline of MLS only coaches getting European jobs
I don’t think there is a ton of evidence that European teams are going to prioritize MLS coaches with not other history. Obviously someone is going to be first at some point, and it probably should be Nancy, but I don’t think the majority of European teams are going to care about what is happening in Ohio.Nancy feels like the best coaching option to make the transition to Europe in some time.
My guess is he gets that oppurtunity in the next 2 years.
Marsch moved from Red Bull to Red Bull (to Red Bull) so he was a known quantity within his multi club model; and stayed within the same multi club model. Nancy does not have this luxury. And again Marsch is the outlier here.Didn’t Jesse Marsch do that?
