The United States continues to bury itself under the guidance of Jurgen Klinsmann.
A fourth-placed finish at the 2015 Gold Cup was only followed by a Confederation Cup playoff loss to Mexico. Even the talent pool is being wrongly identified. Somehow, Mix Diskerud can still get a call-up over Benny Feilhaber and Sacha Kljestan.

Fortunately, there are suitable replacements out there if the program ever admits to making a mistake in hiring Klinsmann. Below are three head coaches that will seamlessly replace him when he's inevitably let go.
Peter Vermes
Peter Vermes has the resume of a future national team head coach. The 49-year-old played for the USMNT from 1988-1997, featuring in the 1990 World Cup.
In 2009, he took over Sporting Kansas City. Three years later he led the club to an MLS Cup victory over Real Salt Lake. Aurelien Collin should've been sent off in the second half to prevent him from doing so, but that's besides the point.
With a strong knowledge of MLS, Vermes can do a better job of identifying local talent.
Bruce Arena
Be honest, is the USMNT any better under Klinsmann than it was under Bruce Arena?
Aesthetic soccer isn't being played, the next generation of players isn't growing at a faster rate than Mexico or even Costa Rica and bridges are being burned in MLS.
With the World Cup qualifying cycle already underway, Arena could serve as a caretaker before the future of the national team is hired in 2018.
Jesse Marsch
Speaking of the future of the national team, Jesse Marsch checks all the boxes for U.S. Soccer.
The Red Bulls head coach is likeable, knowledgeable of MLS and plays a progressive, aesthetic brand of soccer.
