Hey namssor, good to see you're running. I'll stay away from 2-3 questions, so here it goes:

What do you think (besides ID) will put our roster over the top of say, a Chile, or an Italy?

This kinda goes to all candidates:
How do you see/visualize yourself working in the NT coach position?

Would you adopt the same staff? How much time do you think would go into your analyzing tactics? How to do you see yourself communicating with not only the large USA fan base but international managers that own our NT players?

What are your goals as NT coach? How do you feel about all the current players? Any talents incoming that you think should be worked into the fold as well?

Last but not least, what would you say to new managers looking to volunteer and become more active and participating in the NT and U21 NT? Any ideas on where people could start helping out?


We have a lot of great outside shooters. Unfortunately, we play all our games indoors.

When was the last time we won Worlds? Election after election people just assume that the person in the tougher league is the better manager. Yet the "better manager" can never go above and beyond any other USA NT. Everytime one of you says I cannot become the manager motivates me to become the manager and do a better job than any of you could. Yes I went 3-19 in league III but losing can teach you more than winning. I learned better enthusiasm and game shape management, as well as the importance of the little things, like passing, handling, driving, stamina, and free throws. My road to the NT would be very hard and I would have to go against adversity giving me a motive to do good, while the "better manager" would have it all made and have motive to do good for his country but nothing compared to the motive of wanting to prove someone wrong. So if you want to vote for the better manager and be contend for a title go ahead.

...and now we have a 2nd worthy candidate.

Okay so here is my questions for the candidates.

1.One of the keys to the success of the Polish and Chilean NTs this season is the fact that most of their NT players were in the hands of members from the respective countries. I believe this is something we need to have happen to get over the hump. How do we accomplish this in the US?

2. What else do we need to do in order to get over the hump, and how do we achieve these things?

Buckeye, like I said I'm not basing my opinion on purely team success.

What do you know about running a NT?

Have you even signed up for the USNT offsite before?

Can you name members of the USNT staff besides Jfarb, Namssor, and SpF as they have been mentioned in this thread?

Do you know the set up of the NT tournaments?

Without looking at a game recap, do you even know the key USNT players?

I could go on and on with questions, but these will suffice for now....
