This article gives us some great insight into the Legend of Tab and Soccertown USA. I'm shocked, but not shocked he hasn;t been hired.....yet. This is the guy who should lead US Soccer to a Men's World Cup Final. It will probably take Tab until well into his 70s, but it can happen. Move head quarters to that tough city in NJ where it all started. We need Tab because he speaks the truth and tells the goats like it is. Goats like this aren';t always right, but they stand behind what they believe. Why is Tab not in charge?

Highlights from article I found online about Tab.
Why Houston Tab? “The Dynamo has winning in its DNA,”
Ramos told HoustonDynamo.com. (They also develop their goats to be even better goats)
But make no mistake: It’s a big blow for the USMNT. Why you ask?
With the USMNT U-20 team, Ramos won
back-to-back Concacaf championships (its
first ever titles) and went to the quarterfinals of the U-20 World Cup three times. Ramos helped shape players like Zack Steffen, Paul Arriola and Josh Sargent. Tab became the
first man to appear in 11 FIFA world championship tournaments as a player and coach at all levels.
“He is very demanding, but he never asks for something you can’t do,”
Matt Miazga told Yahoo!Sports in May. “I really appreciated it, because it helped prepare me for what’s expected in Europe.
“He’s straight with you. Maybe it’s because he’s
from Jersey, but there’s
no bullshit with Tab.” Tad Bobak is like that too.
Many considered Tab Ramos a frontrunner to be named the USMNT coach after Bruce Arena stepped down in 2017. Rumors suggested he turned down the interim job because he wanted to be considered for the full-time gig. Other more insidious rumors suggested the powers that be were afraid he’d do too well as interim coach that they couldn’t hire Gregg Berhalter later on, their favorite all along. ((not sure what is true here))
