I'd think it'll have to be Sullivan.

As much as I love watching team NA, USA will be better off when they can play Eichel, Matthews and Gaudreau. Those guys, plus obvious picks like Faulk and Kessel and a coach who knows how to use skill would go a very, very long way
 
Have a staff of Sullivan - Lavi - Hynes

Sulluvan won a Cup
Lavi did decently well with a subpar Flyers team and is doing good with Nashville
Hynes did decently well with a subpar Devils team and was successful with WBS
 
I can picture this group now: "We need someone who can bring USA Hockey back to the top. What is Herb Brooks doing?" - Brian Burke "He's dead" - Lombardi. BB: "Well, call Ron Wilson. He'll make sure we get to our heavy game!" DL: "He hasn't really coached at this level in a while...." BB: "We're not looking for the best coach, we're looking for the right coach! He'll bring the grit!"

Count on Ron Wilson being the next coach cause Burke is a fool and will want to "recreate" 1996 completely
 
I can think of better coaches I'd rather have than Torts but I didn't have too much of an issue with how he coached this team.

The fault lies with the GM who constructed the team. It just wasn't very good.

The players sucked too

Didn't Lavi also win a Cup with Carolina?
 
Yea Sully and Lavi are good starts. Let them choose their 3rd(or 4th guy).
Throw all the meatheads out on the managing side.
Bring Shero back into the fold.

I'm afraid the Torts stench might hurt Sully's chances but it shouldn't cuz they'll never coach together again. Ever.
