Well that's it then, I dislike your management, and officially dislike you now as well.
WHy would I contribute, when I never liked your management of the team?
You could say its carpet bagging, but it's better than me belitting your decisions game by game. God knows I am active in this game (log in pretty much every day, talk frequently with a variety of managers to expand my thought process about the inner workings of the game). You had your inner advisors, and the group think that resulted from it led to the results we had.
I wanted no association with your regime. I'm amazed that people think you were successful. I think with the resources at our disposal, not having a single appearance in the finals is nothing but a failure on your part.
I realize that if there was a national perception of you as a failure that would hurt. You care about your legacy deeply, and on the club level that is secure. However, you have had 3 cracks at it, and have failed to overachieve in any of those attempts. In baseball you would be out on strikes.
Simply put, you failed. You had awesome resources, and wasted them. It will only get tougher for America from here. If you, as a voter reading this, thnk that Juice was successful, you clearly wont want to vote for me. I will do things differently. Very differently. You may not like me, but my team has been successful, regardless of what coco said (my first season i joined 20 games into the season and didnt really log in till the next season)
As for alienation, I would not want anyone that got us to where we were, that's true. That's not to say that I dont have a good network of friends, real life and otherwise in this game, some at very high levels. I would lean on them, and I would make my own decisions.
If there is a different candidate that thinks things need to change, and dramatically, and you think they are better, then by all means vote for them.
However, the post i previously referenced here: http://itmightbedangerous.blogspot.com/2008/06/draft-review-about-process.html
Well that couldnt be more true
The graph part of the way down sums it up. You could have one term, and be truly unlucky. But over the long term, you end up in either the top left or bottom right boxes. I maintain we underachieved and are now deservedly in the bottom right box.

Championship teams will occasionally have a bad process and a good outcome. Championship organizations, however, reside exclusively in the upper half of the matrix. Some years it may be on the right-hand side, most years should be on the left

I will leave it to the reader to where we reside. I will say that if the d3 guy wins and wants my help, i will give it to him. Realistically though, if the continuation of the prior regime wins, there is no reason for me to contribute, unless if the candidate enjoys getting heckled.
Quite frankly, I wouldn't vote for you if you were the only candidate.
You have shown zero interest in the USA NT except when election time comes.
Azariah is a newer member, and I think he cares about the NT past the fact that he has a chance to run it, unlike you.
wozzvt clearly cares about the NT even though he has not been the coach - he's done a fantastic job of helping to build our scouting infrastructure and database of player skills. This is not something he had to do, and something he wasn't even asked to do - he volunteered and got it done.
It would be a terrible thing for the USA NT to see someone who is in it only for themselves, who runs away and hides if he doesn't get his way, and seems to be more interested in promoting himself than anything else.
I have no use for someone who wants to be a big talker but hides his bashing comments towards me. At least you were classy in the aftermath of your failed South Africa campaign: (78034.1)
Past that, performance is the thing that counts. I don't think you have th
