We'll get a younger coach soon, I'm sure.
My preferences domestically...
1.) Caleb Porter - Even though he's underwhelmed in Portland, I still believe he can build something powerful and long lasting.
2.) Gregg Berhalter - I think he's the best young coach in MLS, better than Porter, but I'm not sure about his long-term sustainability.
3.) Jason Kreis - He's proven he can build long-term, but he's struggled recently with 2 expansion teams. I think his RLS time is really an idea of what he can do.
4.) Jesse Marsch - He's in a highly organized situation. Has USMNT experience. I think he can apply that structure and succeed. Maybe a low ceiling?
5.) Tab Ramos - Not as young as the guys above, but he's been heavily involved with the national team the last few years. Could be a good fit to take the positives that we've had and weed out the negatives.
6.) Oscar Pareja - Not really "young," but has a good decade or more of coaching left in him. I think we're missing out on Latino players and maybe this move transitions us away from the Euro focus.
Wildcard: John Harkes - Has his first head coaching gig at Cincinnati FC. He's got the attitude and energy, no idea if he has the ability to build anything. Definitely has the history (like Tab).
