Here's the scuttlebutt: Despite denying any interest in the job, ex-German coach Juergen Klinsmann did meet with USSF reps and has asked US Soccer for $2m a year as compensation for the job. He also has asked for major structural changes within U.S. Soccer, particularly with how the national teams programs are run, as a condition of his hiring. I have been told that went down poorly. The rumour mill has it that the other people being talked to include: Columbus' Sigi Schmid, Houston's Dominic Kinnear and Manchester United assistant Carlos Queiroz. Queiroz, of course, was passed over for the job once before and penned the Project 2010 plan/report with Connecticut native and goalkeeper coach Danny Gaspar, who now coaches at the University of Hartford. It's not a list that really leaps out at you, now is it?
