Ramos next up?

Probably not now. Maybe in the future. (NM)

Gulati has a conference call with the media schedule for Friday morning. Here's hoping that's resignation #2, or at least an announcement he's not running for reelection. Either way, I expect they name Ramos as interim manager and make a permanent hire next summer. The most immediate task to me is to put together some good friendlies for next spring/summer, maybe even a 4-team round robin like the women have done. Also, any player who will be over 34 years old at the next World Cup in 2022, needs to be immediately retired.

If he's not gone, nothing will improve.

 

[patdog]

Agreed. It's probably just a question of if he leave voluntarily or gets voted out.

Mullen to USMNT?

Someone had to say it, or is he going home to the Red Sox?

Ramos next up?

My gut says they give Ramos the interim tag, then see who might be interested come summer time. Worst case scenario you can just keep Ramos on full time for a year or two. See how he does in the 2019 Gold Cup and the early stages of 2022 qualifying.

My top choice right now is David Wagner from Huddersfield Town. If he will take the job.

That's how they did with Bob Bradley. Made him an interim after Bruce Arena resigned the first time and then made him permanent after a few months when he got some good results. Ramos has coached the U20 team with good success and knows a lot of the young players having coached them. If we're going to go with a full on youth movement (which we should seeing we have five years til then next World Cup) he would make sense unless you get a home run type of hire like Tata Martinez or Thomas Tuchel.
