I am just the average USA manager.
If vote for me we could become a huge powerhouse for at least the next two years. And yes we will get revenge on the dang polish!
By the end of this election I want to be the above average USA manager. Thank you.

@Buckeye - Why would we vote for an "average" manager who aspires to but may never even come close to being an above average manager when we could just vote for an above average manager to start with?

The only people elected to be national team manager is the above average and i think it is time for change.

However, isn't our goal always to win now and forgo waiting a season for the manager to become better?

What do you think you can bring to the team that they cant? We need an experienced manager to help coordinate the team if we are going to have any shot of winning. What would you have done over the past two seasons that you feel would have been better than Jfarb?

I think I can bring a new style. Many of the national teams use look inside and we would play a team that would play look inside and they would dominate us inside since we did not do a 2-3 and we didnt have good enough inside defense. I am experienced, I have been the manager for my team since season 7. Also I have the time to put in to make the team successful.

Playing 2-3 has risks. Discussion over whether we would 2-3 a game last season always broke down due to risk of the other team playing outside. At the NT level, most every team can play an outside offense that can beat a M2M, let alone a 2-3.

Also, and this is directed to ballr as well, why should we vote for a manager that doesn't even know our team's skills? Someone that doesn't care to run knows more about the team at this point. And not to say I wouldn't vote for someone strictly based on the fact that they're not on the offsite, but it puts risk into someone that doesn't know the team's strengths and weaknesses being the top dog. And skills are very different from just reading box scores.

I understand that playing a 2-3 could be dangerous but when there is a team with an inside attack that you cannot stop in man to man i think you have to go to the 2-3. As they say Risk= Reward.

If you have been managing since season 7 and are still in DIV, then I see no reason to continue any discussion about you being NT manager...

And why should we be super worried about division unless it's D4 or D5?

EDIT: Seriously managing? Please. I want a better excuse if I'm making you the NT manager.
