Someone who was a NT coach a long time ago might not be worthy to be the current NT coach

Honestly, it is highly illogical to suggest something that is normally the exception to the rule. Yes it might happen that someone now is more suited to be a NT than an ex-coach, still an ex-coach and specially a successful ex-coach will still be better suited and more experencied than 90% of the candidates. It MIGHT happen that one or another candidate might have a more succesful tenure but the probability of that happening is very low.

Besides it would be great not only for NT voters but also for the players that manage NT's to have such an historic of achievements. Not only the players would feel more motivated to actually perform well with the NT but it would be highly gratifying to see a collection of achievements for the user itself.

Displayed achievements could be:

- Qualifying for the NT cups
- Winning NT trophies
- Reaching semi-final or a final of a NT competition
- Finishing 1st in group of a NT competition
- Going up 10 or more places in the NT rankings
etc

Option to turn the red mark off without voting just like B3 prediction page has? So if someone feels like they don't have enough knowledge to vote, they can still get rid of that taunting red mark.

Maybe add a link to the forum, or a reminder ? Close to the voting button.
So that everyone knows where to find the speeches and debates

Just show off rankings

I actually agree that world ranking is meaningless in the terms of a good NT/U21 coach. In my opinion experience in the game is more important.

So would it be better if coach history is noted on the election page? For example you could list the league titles they’ve ever had, or number of seasons coached at certain levels?

This way lesser experienced players that we’re assuming vote based on world ranking now can see the history and experience of the managers up for election and choose based on that. Yes that the benefits the players that have played BB longer, but if they’ve played for so long they should have the enthusiasm and knowledge to be NT coaches.
