Nomination Time

Sadly, DC United is smack dab in the middle of the same quag they were mired in last year, and it falls to me, your humble blogging buddy, to fire up the machinery of the Next Coach Cup for the second year running. Starting next Monday, we'll start voting potential bosses off the island, but I need your help.

"How can I help?" you ask?

I need nominations. Send me your candidate (or candidates — your list can be as long as you need) for the vacant hot seat on the United bench. You can send me who you actually want to be the boss, who might be a decent boss, who's worth a flier, who will piss off the most people by being included in the cup, or anybody you consider to have even the most marginal shot at the job. I'll collect the nominations and fill out the brackets for the cup all week. As I said, I want to get this puppy rolling next Monday, so nominations will be accepted until the evening of Sunday, October 31 (no nominations of dead candidates will be allowed, date be damned!).

You can submit your list in any of the following ways.

1. Olde School. Email your list to fullbackfiles at gmail dot com.
2. Blog Fundamentalist. Drop your list in the comments section of this post.
3. New Media Maven. DM or tweet @mshund on Twitter. 

Evangalism is encouraged. Use the hash tag #NextCoachCup in your Twitter submission and/or spread links to this post liberally around your corner of the web and get others involved.

If you see a name already mentioned that you want to include on your list, please do so. I'm going to be weighting the draw for the cup based upon how many nominations each candidate receives.

So get those thinking caps on and start firing off the submissions. And thanks.
