Just announced that Acacia WW will be the new HC of team USA. Curious if the announcement comes as a surprise or was Levy expected to be replaced? For people in the know: was anyone else in the running?
I think she'll be brilliant, but also interested to hear others' opinions!
USA Head Coach
Re: USA Head Coach
No clue if this is a surprise or not.
One would think Levy may have said pass it off to someone else, given how far along she is in her career. I doubt she feels the need to do team USA at this point.

Re: USA Head Coach
The US team coaches run on cycles. Every Team USA coach is changing this week. New men's coach will be announced tomorrow.belleoftheball wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 1:33 pm Just announced that Acacia WW will be the new HC of team USA.

Re: USA Head Coach
One would think they called the USOC and got the playbook on how to choose a coach.
I don't have a dog in this fight, so I could care less if it was Carl the Janitor coaching this team.

Re: USA Head Coach
Thanks. Watched. I don't really think of this as corporate speak. She is just answering the question with the sort of generalized blather that such a question naturally elicits. She is plainly a very able coach, former USA team member, and All-American player. Her bona fides for the job are, whether one likes her or not, pretty clear and compelling.OuttaNowhereWregget wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 2:58 pm3rd slideSeacoaster(1) wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 2:53 pmWhere is the “corporate speak”?OuttaNowhereWregget wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 2:04 pm Yep--some real good top-shelf corporate-speak talk comin atcha.

Re: USA Head Coach
I’m surprised Levy is one and done. If that was her intention, I would have thought she would have announced it after the team won the World Cup two years ago. I guess I’m used to Ricky sticking around and around and around. (Maybe it just seems that way. Looking it up, I see he was only the coach for two cycles.)
Re: USA Head Coach
I'd almost prefer we don't stick with the same coach for a lot of cycles at this point. There are enough fresh takes available at this point.njbill wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 9:09 am I’m surprised Levy is one and done.
