GOLD OR BUST
And no... not that soft continental gold... In fact I fully expect Canada to be this seasons Americas champs.
Hello all, Eminence here (or Sawyer, whatever). I'm a pre-pharmacy student at SDSU and am interested in hopping the pond and coming home to be NT coach. I have several seasons experience with NTs, if I remember correctly: 2 seasons as a scout/trainer for Canada, 2 seasons as a scout for England U21, 2 seasons as English U21 manager, 1 season as English general scout, 4 seasons as English NT coach. I'd say my record is pretty good, my Canadian PG shut down your boy Chuck Rainey, I was the first and still only English U21 coach to make it out of group phase in Europe, and raised the NT rank in England from 45th to the current high of #23.
I would like to make it clear, I believe the system we have in place here in the states is great, we are getting good players, and they have good homes. Our community interaction is also great. But I believe recently we've had a bit too much of the NT managers being afraid to step up and take responsibility, they are the managers and in the end it's up to them. If I'm elected to the NT there won't be any of this, I'll make my tactical/roster decisions and we'll sink or swim or whether or not I make good decisions.
So yeah, vote for me if you'd like, and ask away in the discussion thread (please title posts directly for me, I may not have time to read through the whole thread).
