Nancy has had such little impact on Columbus Crew that the stickied Head Coaching Vacancy thread has two pages of college football and gambling talk. Sack this clown now, before it's too late.
What do you want us to talk about? All the new player signings? The new jersey/logo? New food vendors at stadium? New parking garage prices? We've killed the speculation on what formation Nancy will play and which Crew 2 players we expect to see get first team minutes. Once this world cup is over, I'm afraid we will have noting of substance Crew related to talk about until just before preseason. For now we will all just have to stalk Matan's girlfriend on social media.
The "substance" level is debatable but we have the Superdraft coming up December 21st (apparently they made it way earlier this year?) I'm actually a tad bit more interested in the Superdraft now with Nancy in charge and Courtois having a successful operation with Crew 2. Our draft picks may stand a chance of playing in our system and getting called back up to the main team sooner under Nancy....instead of just being jettisoned away on loan to a random USL team who could care less about our guys.
Mercifully, the Superdraft will be conducted via conference call this year. No longer are they hosting the ludicrous - and expensive - circus they previously did at the NSCAA convention. (It was always a lowlight in my year when I had to sit through that ridiculous exercise, although there was occasionally some comedy relief. My all time favorite was the year in Philadelphia when the crowd, which was 70% Union fans and 20% DC fans, literally drowned out Don Garber announcing the first pick with a chant of "Save the Crew". In the hall, you simply could not hear him, and it rattled him so much that he forgot LA's team name. I honestly think that was Don's first real inkling that the whole league fan base was pissed off, not.just a small handful of malcontents in Ohio) (That same year, in Philly, I left my car in an attended surface lot in broad daylight while I was in the convention center and came out to find the passengers front window bashed in and my stuff gone. I wish I could express to you how little Philadelphias finest, whom I did manage to reach by phone, were concerned about this horrific crime of the century) Anyway, while they're at it they really need to drop "Super" from the name. It sounds cheesy, small time and desperate for relevance. It came about because in the early days MLS conducted 3 or four drafts, one for college, one for signed players, one for.free agents, one for overseas players, one for God knows what else. They gradually combined them until it became just one single draft and somebody had the genius idea to call it the Superdraft. At the time it made sense as they were trying to make a point. But that was at least 20 years ago and now it just sounds stupid.
One other minor historical note. The first year, the draft was held immediately after the combine in Florida. Tampa I think. Crew broadcast legend Dwight Burgess went down ostensibly to provide some kind of radio report but more likely to play some golf. Anyway, it was held in a hotel ballroom and he discovered that MLS had made no provision for.providing the results in real time. I guess that was just gonna be another league secret. So Dwight went ahead and set up his radio gear in the lobby, got it somehow patched into a live internet feed and broadcast the MLS draft. The league liked the idea and.so the next year they started doing it themselves until a few years later they were able to get ESPN to do it I miss Dwight. It was never just a job for him.
