Schmetzer prepares his starting line-up for the USOC match v. Hollywood United. (David Falk)"I am an old guy and I am old school and I know that nothing in life is guaranteed. I certainly would love to have the job of coaching the Sounders FC in their inaugural season. Again, however, I am smart enough to know that nothing in life is guaranteed. I certainly would love to have the new coaching job and I think I could do it. I know a number of MLS head coaches like Preki, Fernando, and Sigi Schmidt. I’ve talked with Sigi Schmidt numerous times in my coaching career. I have met with him and talked about coaching soccer. We have sat at home and talked with each other over coffee and I got a lot of good coaching advice." ---Schmetzer in his Soccer Seattle Style interview.
