FOFC Nat. Team Trainer Nomination Thread

RPI-Fan · 02-16-2004, 03:17 PM

We need to make sure we get slashers out of office when elections come around.

I suggest anyone who wants to try and be FOFC's representative, or if anyone knows someone who would do a good job, should nominate here and eventually we can find a way to pick our candidate.

Please feel free to nominate yourself.

The Afoci · 02-16-2004, 03:30 PM

I am out, running in Canada!

TargetPractice6 · 02-16-2004, 03:33 PM

I nominate CoffeeWarlord.

TargetPractice6 · 02-16-2004, 03:35 PM

Shhh!!!

GoldenEagle · 02-16-2004, 03:37 PM

I nominate vexroid.

If elected, I shall ensure that no Crawfish, or descendant of Crawfish, shall ever respresent (read: disgrace) the USA team. Ever.

Blade6119 · 02-16-2004, 05:12 PM

i think billy should run...lets gets him going, whether he wants to or not!

YoSoySean · 02-16-2004, 05:19 PM

I really don't think slashers will be running again anyway. He believes in the one FULL term limit.

RPI-Fan · 02-16-2004, 05:21 PM

Regardless, I think most here would agree it's best to pick one FOFC candidate to rally behind. I I'm wrong in that assumption, please correct me.

Agreed.

Blade6119 · 02-16-2004, 05:56 PM

but who...obviously billy is the most qualified(minus TP6, but that would even be close). I could see also backing lytic since he has the national coaching experiance if he was willing.

RPI-Fan · 02-16-2004, 05:58 PM

I think Billy is most qualified, and he also would have by far the best chance of picking up "outside" votes.

Instead of the 29 of 32 week terms?

BillyNYC · 02-17-2004, 12:42 AM

The season I relegate I should run?

Seriously though, I'm not likely to run. It's just a game and I don't much care for how much people get riled up about nat team stuff. It wouldn't be fun for me, and "taking the US to glory" is just not something I have an interest in. It honestly doesn't mean anything to me if the US wins the World Cup or finishes last. Of course, if I was coach I'd do my best to win, but beyond that I don't much care.

I think it's somewhat due to that I started playing a bit before national teams even existed, so was always "my team and only my team" and that's how I treat it nowadays. I don't have any more "pride" if I was to have a US nat. teamer as compared to a Pakistani one (hell, I prefer my Hong Kong guy because the flag looks weird). It's always been about my team and I view the national team aspect as a necessary evil for the growth of the game. Hell, I root for Tombstone's nat team guys to get injured and so forth.

Besides, this season will be more interesting to me than the past few. New teams, more money than I've ever had and a better team. I'm going to try to enjoy it and see what happens.

Besides besides, on a personal level I'm tired of doing temp work and need to find a job.

So, no, I don't think I'd be running. I'm flattered by my mention though, especially considering I'm not exactly active here.

Poli · 02-17-2004, 01:31 AM

I would be interested in running, but I doubt I would garner any votes outside of FOFC.

Blade6119 · 02-17-2004, 01:35 AM

id vote for my boy ardent!

Hell, you'd have a hard time garnering votes inside of FOFC.

antbacker · 02-17-2004, 02:01 AM

Are there any other US voting blocks outside of FOFC? If so, it might be a good idea to see who those groups are proposing.

Does this mean the National team would now wear puke green socks and play the Run-N-Shoot ???

There would definitely be some run and shoot soccer going on.

Puke green socks I'm not sure I'd have control over.

Ok, they wear them under their normal socks.

If I had to guess, LoTA (League of The Americas) might push a candidate, though I don't know for sure. There are a few other "big" conferences that are mostly US people.

saintjo · 02-17-2004, 01:14 PM

whoever we nominate, i highly recommend you do not make the following speech. it will kill your campaign...

"Not only are we going to New Hampshire..., we're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and we're going to California and Texas and New York! And we're going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. And then we're going to Washington, D.C. to take back the White House, Yeeeeeaaaaaah!"

MacroGuru · 02-17-2004, 01:32 PM

However, this might work.

If you can look like the little Quizno's guys and sing just like they do......It's a shoooo in.

TargetPractice6 · 02-17-2004, 03:10 PM

LotA has never sponsored a candidate before. I think FOFC is the only enormous bloc in the US.

Ardent: Yes, you get to control the color of the socks

Poli · 02-17-2004, 03:12 PM

Excellent, TP6, excellent.

We will have the other countries barfing on the sidelines. They won't stand a chance when I unveil my secret weapon, puke green socks.

Coffee Warlord · 02-17-2004, 03:48 PM

Whoo! More campaign fodder for me!

Vote CW and keep the puke green far, far away.

(Although I have a definiate urge, if by some chance in hell I win, to rotate the color of our socks every match, just for some fun.)

BishopMVP · 02-17-2004, 04:09 PM

My top two choices (who haven't already declined AFAIK) are Lytic and CoffeeWarlord. Lytic was very successful running South Korea, so that added experience gives him a leg up on everyone else. But I'll pretty much vote for whoever is picked.

Raven Hawk · 02-17-2004, 04:12 PM

I would nominate my arch rival, Lytic. The more things he has to worry about outside of our division, the better.

Oh yeah, and he's a good candidate.

The Afoci · 02-17-2004, 04:16 PM

AE has worldwide appeal. I mean, who wouldn't love a weird guy from the Navy who has an odd obsession with puke green socks.

Just curious. Is he eligible? He'd be a good candidate, but I thought he was already a U-20 manager somewhere.

After 8 months at sea, all of my socks were puke green.

Matt2You · 02-17-2004, 04:42 PM

Lytic is still coaching South Korea U-20 but he would definetely be ideal for the spot. Noone will give a duck about anyone else we suggest--So just pick a candidate; and he has my support.

And just fyi, if we can't limit it to one candidate we might as well not even bother.

DukeRulesMAB · 02-17-2004, 04:46 PM

I believe lytic plans to run for U-20 trainer after TP's term is up.

I believe CW is the best choice this go around, so long as he's willing to put the effort on the conferences.

The Afoci · 02-17-2004, 05:09 PM

It sounds like CW or AE? I think if AE can get the backing of his GM buddies, not sure which one, we should back him. Otherwise we will have an uphile climb with CW-who?

MacroGuru · 02-17-2004, 05:30 PM

AE has my vote, but then again, if they are an FOFCer, I will vote

Mr. Wednesday · 02-17-2004, 06:53 PM

USCHO is up around 40 people now, but I don't think we've got anybody with a serious shot at winning (although I'd guess there's at least a couple of us who could be competitive).

The_herd · 02-17-2004, 06:57 PM

How could I vote for ardent when he came up short in his goal of allowing 80 goals this season?

Plus, he's in the Navy. *shivers at the thought*

Poli · 02-17-2004, 07:10 PM

I nearly joined the Air Force. Plus, the fact I didn't give up 80 goals allowed me to move into 7th place.

The Afoci · 02-17-2004, 08:31 PM

I think AE could really use a campaign manager...

But who would have the qualifications...

I mean, who could rally the people? Who has handled this kind of talent, or lack there of and turned it into something good?

I got nothing.

I'd like to announce The Afoci is now my campaign manager.

While I would like to seriously win, and will make a good attempt to do so, I don't really expect to win this time around. Should at the very least get my name out as a legit candidate for the next election, though.
