[QUOTE="Purp, post: 2920675, member: 12852"] I'd be okay with that, but still feel we could do better. Maybe I want to make a big, sexy splash hire, but I'm very leery of anyone playing or coaching in the program when BoOB and Arena were there. They were the guys we needed at those times to advance American international soccer, but there is a very real ceiling to their potential on the international stage, IMO. Marsch was still very young then and has good experience in Europe too so maybe he's less capped by that ceiling than others. I think a real breakthrough only happens if we bring in a guy with success in Europe who also has success developing young talent. The reality is that the majority of the best sides in the world are in Europe so understanding how to play that game and navigate through those nuances is critical. Not sure if Jesse has enough of that understanding yet. [/QUOTE]
