Great post.  Agree with all of it.

Also need more quality depth in midfield.  Still too much of a drop-off after Musah, McKennie and Adams.  Aaronson will continue to get better.  Need a couple more.

So, Berhalter got them back to where they are supposed to be.  The question now is, can he be the guy to take them to the next level?

Part of that is out of his control.  Does the existing talent continue to grow and mature?  Does the pipeline produce some new talent in areas we we need it?

But a big part of that is also going to be on him.

I honestly don't know the answer to that.  I'm not sure anyone does.  He has certainly done enough to warrant retaining the job but the question US soccer needs to be asking itself is whether this guy is the next Mancini, Conte or Low?  Because that is the type of coach you will need to make a serious run in '26. We now know that we are on the fringes of having the enough talent and depth of talent to compete consistently with the top 10-15 teams in the world.  We need a coach to continue to harness and develop it.
