We need a big name coach since we do have the parts. We're just too timid. 4-5-1 with Larin up front is an absolutely idiotic formation. Larin isnt a guy who can hold the ball yet, maybe in 4 years he'll develop that aspect of his game. We scored off of a corner but yet we refuse to take long throws or launch balls into the box. I agree with most here, the El Salvador match was what killed us, not yesterday.
While the PDL is fun, it's not the players that are going to play for Canada and the team isn't Canadian, it's under the American structure still.

A new coach doesn't solve the problem. Remember when Stephen Hart was the problem? And Dale Mitchell before him? And Frank Yallop before him? The coach is the easy fix that ignores the underlying problems.
We do not have the talent to compete in CONCACAF. Haven't for a long time.
And a youth club that develops Calgarians from U4-U23 isn't Canadian? A youth club that has produced multiple players in our current national team setup isn't Canadian? A youth club that produced the captain for our last failed cycle isn't Canadian? You couldn't be further off from the truth. They are the prototypical Canadian club who is actually putting money into develop Canadian talent.
