Some mildly interesting stuff about Marsch's tactics (he wants less possession and to control the game through controlling space) but mostly notable because the NY Times has some Red Bulls coverage.

Marsch’s way — an unorthodox mix of high-press tactics, data crunching and communal therapy sessions — has been an unquestioned success with his roster of low-celebrity, lower-salaried players.
I hope they're mental communal therapy sessions. "Sometimes, Dax, I just feel like everything's a joke to you." "The guys tell me I'm being paranoid, but part of me feels like people aren't totally serious when they call me Grellinho." "Stop calling me 'little brother', Bradley; you're my little brother."
“No reflection on the referees,” goalkeeper Luis Robles said, “but I wonder if sometimes he [Marsch] is using such big words they just don’t understand.”
That Princeton schoolin'.

dunno, his reaction to duvall scoring in Yankee Stadium indicates something else.

Maybe it's not for the club, but Marsch cares about THIS team and THESE players.One thing that is kind of disappointing about Marsch compared to Petke is that you can tell that Marsch doesn't really love this team or organization. He's very professional and talented, but it's obvious that it's just a job to him. So while I appreciate his current success with the team, if that changes, I wouldn't mourn him getting shitcanned.

Agreed and I remember him (and the rest of the team) having a similar reaction in another game this year (I believe vs Portland if memory serves). I think people may get the wrong vibe from Marsch cause he has that cool, calm and collected demeanor about him but he's gone crazy on the sidelines quite a few times.
Bradley Wright-Phillips "I prefer it at Red Bull Arena, but it was OK. I could imagine it being good for a baseball crowd.
Marsch doesn't have the long history with the organization that Petke had. Petke's relationship with the club is very different. However, I have no doubt that Marsch has passion for the team, the supporters, the Red Bull organization which has given him a second head coaching chance, for winning each game and ultimately the Supporters' Shield, and for going after MLS Cup. Team / organization success is partly his success. If coaching was just a job to him, he would have left the profession for a finance job after being fired from the Impact rather than wander around in the wilderness the past few years.

Relevant personal anecdote: away at Philly on 8/1, I'm sitting to the left of the Metro bench, second row in. After player introductions, just before kickoff, I'm still standing and Marsch turns around, looks into the stands in my direction. Without shouting, I just pointed at him, we make eye contact, I turn it into a thumbs up. He motions to the cap I'm wearing - an old Nike model with the later Metro badge - pats his chest near his heart and returns the thumbs up.
Thought he said an awful lot there without ever saying a word.

I think Marsch cares and I think Curtiss cares too for what it's worth.. doesn't mean they care in the same ways we do though.
Lots of great quotes in this one...
