Jurgen Rattles the Saber

As has been reported over at The Shin Guardian, Jurgen Klinsmann stated in an interview during last nights Kansas City-Chivas USA match, that US head honcho Sunil Gulati did contact him about the "vacant" US coaching position.  But ultimately the sticking point was Gulati's refusal to allow Klinsmann control of the "technical staff" within US Soccer.  Fishy says I, abomination says most everyone else. 

It does seem a bit immature that the parties involved couldn't agree to such a small thing such as control of the staff.  Do I think that Klinsy would come and immediately clean house?  No, not at all.  Thomas Rongen and Claudio Reyna are doing great thus far and Klinsmann probably just wanted to be able to advise those two on the methods and madness of each.

Something to keep an eye for any future interview with Gulati, though we all know that it's unlikely that Gulati comments on it.
