Once again I throw my hat in the ring. It seems to me that a complete rebuild is going to be in order. The cupboard is pretty bare. But there is enough to take care of business this season. The question is for the future. It's an aging roster and new parts seem to be in short supply.

Our colleagues on the off-site and discord have had the keys to the kingdom for quite a while now. Yet the longer they go on the disconnect between them and the rest of the community widens. In the end what the end result becomes is just plain indifference. It is that indifference that is eroding the talent pool.


My goal if elected is to better inform the rest of the community that yes there is a national team and yes we need fresh blood. To better communicate with the whole as opposed to the current status quo of having all the input come from a relative few.

The question now is, just what type of person do we want in charge. Dwight is a great guy, but at the end of the day his reign is ineffectual. We got some guy getting in for s#!+s and giggles and we have a foreign power making a bid. Oh, and then you have me.

How do you plan to better inform the community of the NT and what they need to do to help? And how do you plan to address the aging roster/rebuild? And how do you see the NT would be different now if the off-site/discord group were not helping new and existing managers with training plans since it has worked well for the U21 despite the shrinking population?

Good luck in your election bid!

And same questions for the rest of the candidates, as well as to our Rooney Rule-esqe foreign manager, what would make you want to lead the USA when your club squad is so consistently awesome?

The off-site/discord crew should actually be commended on their efforts. Without them things would be a complete mess. This is not about discarding the status quo but bolstering the status quo. All I am saying is more effort needs to be made with the community as a whole to help foster more involvement. And the way I see to get it done is literally more communication. My goal is to be a lot more productive in getting the word out and of getting new blood engaged. It will take time to develop such an increase in involvement but I want to be the one to start pulling us in that direction.


Now to address Tehran, you sir are one of the greats. But it seems like you wish to do this to stroke your own ego. Plus this is buzzer beater, getting upset for not winning a title is like getting upset over losing a beer league softball game. Not that losing doesn't suck but again this is a managerial simulation, of course I want to compete at the highest level possible but c'mon man it's all for fun.

All I want to say is good luck to all candidates. My time as NT manager progressively got harder and harder just because life got in the way. I’ve been sapped of all excitement and will power to really make the team better. It’s definitely a tough task, but I know all of you can help it in your own way. See y’all around.
