Six Reasons Nick Should Be The Coach: 1. Played for Nantes. 2. Played for FC Belenonsense. 3. Played for Tampa Bay Rowdies 4. Authored plan for national urban revitalization. 5. He's on the bench anyway. 6. If he hires himself, no one will check resume.
Why only six? 7. Nick's agency fee for representing players who play for him will be only 5%, as opposed to the 10% that OZ charges. 8. The plastic used to build the bench's protective overhang is the same material that Nick's hair is made out of. 9. The name "Sakeiwicz" can be written in Giants Stadium turf divots during the '03 season opener.
10. Nick has the names and addresses of seven kids he will personally develop into bona fide Clint Mathises
11. Cuz his day job as University of Cincinnati hoop coach don't pay well and Nick-O needs the extra $$$.
12. Because he is the two time Executive of the Year. 13. He can bring on quality talent like Steve Shak.
15. if you read some of his quotes the past couple days, h can predict the future 16. he can negotiate with the players as well as he can with NJ politicians
This made me laugh a lot more than it should have. 17. His morals are impeccable. For example, he always tips his escorts 20%. 18. The ESC has not yet had the opportunity to fully explore the vast bounty of jokes that can come from snappy nicknames like "Nick The Dick".
So, 30 to 60 days until you sign Jack Black and Kyle Gass? I guess Nick wants a Tenacious central D. Later, COZ
Passaic to Nantes to Trenton, Nick Sakiewicz IS New Jersey 20. His opposition to a "throw-away society," not only makes him the perfect player's coach, but a potential Gov. of NJ, with the major plank of his platform being solving the garbage problems with NYC and cleaning all of brownfields and toxic dumps in NJ. "People are our greatest resource-my administration won't throw anyone under a bus to score cheap political points..."
Bob Huggins finds out he was compared to Nick-o... http://msn.espn.go.com/ncb/news/2002/0928/1438110.html
What a uncanny resemblance. Looks like Huggins will be OK. I don't think our discussion here had anything to do with his heart attack.
