barndog [del] to All
The two most important things about running our NT are getting the right players on the team, and onto the field, and designing the proper tactics to give our team the best chance of winning each and every match.

To insure we get the best players on the team I'll be scouting out each and every league in the USA, and checking out the matches of those players who are performing the best in each league. As can be seen by the voter turnout for these elections, a majority of USA users don't actively participate other than to run their team. The NT coach can't just depend on every user to notify him of players to consider for the team, he must actively seek them out. Any help you guys can give in this endeavor will be greatly appreciated.

Once we've got all the best USA players on the squad, the challenge then becomes designing a tactic that gives our squad the best chance of winning each and every week. A lot of time will be spent actively scouting out our upcoming opponents. Our tactics should not only emphasize our strong points, and exploit our opponents weaknesses, but look to shut down their strengths as well. A difficult balancing act, but one that will get my gravest attention. This is the same way I treat the tactics for my own squad, which helped me to defeat 2 major league teams in last years USA Open Cup with a B-League squad earning average ratings of around 30 at the time. I insure you that a NT under my control will play in such a way that the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.

Another thing I will be trying to do is make the team a true 'National' team. That is, I'll be looking to make each one of you feel like a part of our National Team effort. After every match I'll be posting my thoughts on what I was trying to accomplish, where we fell short of those goals, and why I think that happened. I will be seeking all of your input on what was right and wrong with the approach that week. And if others would like to scout out our opponents, and notify me of anything they see, that would be greatly appreciated. I will do everything in my power to tray and make the USA National Team as strong and powerful as it can be!

Thanks for your support!!

Well .. after observing all the candidates over the past three seasons [or so] .. I have reached the conclusion that ...barndog... has my vote.

Not to say that the other candidates are less qualified, but I can appreciate what barndog has done with his team ... and how they have competed.
