Klinsmann was unable to come up with the right combination of players and a tactical plan for the USMNT to consistently win tough games. In that sense he failed at his job. But he's become the all-purpose scapegoat for a whole host of problems that US Soccer is still sweeping under the rug while its leaders finalize their contract with a new coach whose main qualification seems to be that he's related to one of them and is in bed with MLS leadership, after the phoniest "search" in modern sports history.

You can't talk about the "disaster" that followed him without talking about the players who were their own worst enemies by constantly whining about Klinsmann shifting them around the pitch, which world-class coaches do all the time. Look at how Belgium beat Brazil in the World Cup: Martinez came up with a surprise tactical plan that shifted some of the world's best players out of their normal positions. Did you hear anyone complain? Does Christian Pulisic complain about his changing roles at Dortmund under different coaches? Good players don't do that. And players who want to win international tournaments don't walk away from top-level competitive leagues to take big-money contracts in the Retirement League (MLS).
