^ Why?

What has he done to warrant being fired?

Won the 2007 Gold Cup
Qualified for 2010 WC
Advanced to the Finals of the 2009 Confed Cup
Won their Group at the 2010 WC

when it has mattered, Bob gets results.

Ehh I don't know how much you can look at just the results. The way the results came about should say something as well.
-2010 WC qualifying wasn't the best.

-Advanced in 09 Confed Cup due to luck/coincidence IIRC

-WC 2010 gave up early goals in i wanna say 3 outta 4 games they played, and this also happened throughout WC qualifiers as well.

 It seems BB never had his team prepared to come out and play from the jump. So aggravating.

-His squad selections and game day team selections alone should have him on the hot seat. How in the world does he expect his team to have any possession

 at all when he constantly puts what seems to be 2 defensive mids in the center midfield. Players (Torres comes to mind) get pulled after playing 1 good game then 1 half of a bad game

 and then don't see them again while players like klejistan and bornstein continually get called up and playing time when they do absolutely nothing positive on the field.

-He continues in failing to make in game changes when it's obviously necessary and the tactics of the US team leave alot to be desired. Hmmmm lets see. Launch

 a 40-60 yard pass in the air hope a forward beats the 2 people that are on him or gets fouled so that Landon can take a free kick and hopefully we can score on a header

 or a loose ball situation where someone pokes it in. It seems that that is how at least 80% of the US goals are scored.

-2010 WC qualifying wasn't the best. (We Qualified, what else matters?)

-Advanced in 09 Confed Cup due to luck/coincidence IIRC
(We beat Egypt 3-0, Italy lost to Brazil 3-0 - was that luck? Yes. But we HAD to win by 3 goals...and did - that's not luck)

-WC 2010 gave up early goals in i wanna say 3 outta 4 games they played, and this also happened throughout WC qualifiers as well.  It seems BB never had his team prepared to come out and play from the jump. So aggravating.
(True...and that's very frustrating and reflects on a lot of issues, not just coaching....but we WON our group...again..what else matters??)

-His squad selections and game day team selections alone should have him on the hot seat. How in the world does he expect his team to have any possession

 at all when he constantly puts what seems to be 2 defensive mids in the center midfield. Players (Torres comes to mind) get pulled after playing 1 good game then 1 half of a bad game and then don't see them again while players like klejistan and bornstein continually get called up and playing time when they do absolutely nothing positive on the field.

(I take it you didn't see how bad Torres was in our 2nd WC game vs. Slovina? He looked awful. Should he still be called in? Yes, but let's not pretend like he's the answer. I'll take Holden, Benny, Jones, Edu, and Mix all over Torres. I can't stand Bornstien and I won't defend him, he shouldn't be on the Nats. The only "fireable" offensive roster wise I've seen Bob make is continually starting Rico Clark...it still pisses me off just thinking about it.)

-He continues in failing to make in game changes when it's obviously necessary and the tactics of the US team leave alot to be desired. Hmmmm lets see. Launch

 or a loose ball situation where someone pokes it in. It seems that that is how at least 80% of the US goals are scored. (That's not true...usually as the game goes on and we need a goal (which happens often) he'll move Clint up and bring on an extra "attackin" mid see Benny during the WC)

Wondo starts for Agudelo. Agudelo hasn't made much of an impact, but is that what you earn for missing that sitter under Bradley?

Ream's bum #@* doesn't even make the 18. Lichaj starts, Boca moves inside.
 
I'm almost convinced that Donovan and Deuce are trying to throw this to get Bradley fired..
