Should Jurgen Klinsmann be fired?

After seeing the U.S. national team suffer its worst Gold Cup finish since 2000, Jurgen Klinsmann is facing the wrath of unhappy fans. His job is safe, but should it be?

Just two days after leading Mexico to the CONCACAF Gold Cup title, Miguel Herrera was shown the door as coach of El Tri. Just three days after leading the U.S. national team to its worst Gold Cup finish in more than a decade, Jurgen Klinsmann was still gainfully employed, and making plans for friendlies in September.

One title-winning coach on the unemployment line, one disappointing coach about as far from being fired as you can be.
