None of those will touch the job with a 10-foot stick. I expect it will be a third-rate ex-J105 sailor management consultant who loves committees, and wants to have his wife seeing him earning some coin in his retirement.
Oh, please, have mercy!
Would not be my choices, but plenty of people will suggest them. I honestly have no idea who would want this gig anyway. No money, certainly not enough money to be competitive in several classes, one medal potential sailor now. More importantly, what young person wants to have to hitch themselves to this sinking ship, especially for 6-8 years? This is the biggest indication of how utterly inept the US Sailing Board is. With a few exceptions, we have been relatively uncompetitive for a generation, and the future is not bright. The US Sailing Board needs to be held accountable, but there’s no way to do that. Can’t wait to hear what the press release says, “We have mutually parted ways with Cayard. We thank him for the strong foundation he has put into place for us, and now the job switches to a different skill set, so we will find someone who will do anything a dominatrix asks so long as they get paid”
This isn’t about coaching. It’s about being able to pick up the phone and Bill Koch takes your call.
Bill Koch runs the national lottery?
There’s no way Philippe would put himself in that position. Like was said above by P Wop, it will be someone compliant who needs the job and wants the title. Cayard did not need the gig, he’s got enough fuck you money, and his statement all but says “these people are fucking idiots who want to tell me what to do. I’m out”. Anyone of serious stature will now not even consider this job.
If you do not mind as a newly retired lifetime sailor I was thinking of getting more involved (maybe). So what 2 things turned you off?
Or better yet a person names Larry.
