What About Bob?

Pretty simple: According to a press release, USSF has scheduled a press conference for Wednesday during which it is believed Bob Bradley will be named the US MNT coach, removing the interim tag that has hovered around him like dirt to Pig Pen.

Not so simple: USSF President Sunil Gulati’s explanation to US fans for why it has taken 10 months to hire a coach and why no information has been released about other candidates. With some foreign leagues still playing, all that talk about waiting to speak to foreign candidates is getting sucked out of the US Soccer vacuum and out the window. Is there anything he can say or do to salvage this mess?

Expect politically correct answers followed by non-answers, topped with the zest of cliché. You can watch the press conference Wednesday at 1pm on ussoccer.com.
