Olympic coaching curse?



While writing my piece in for today on Olympic soccer dreams, it dawned on me that being the coach of the U.S. men's Olympic team may not be for the superstitious gaffer. Does Peter Nowak really want the U.S. Olympic job? The last two coaches – Clive Charles in 2000 and Glenn Myernick in 2004 where – were both GREAT men and WONDERFUL coaches. But unfortunately, they also both passed away within three short years of their Olympic Head Coaching honors. Charles died from Prostate Cancer in August of 2003, and Myernick from complications four days after suffering a heart attack during his morning jog on August 5th, 2006. If something were to happen to Nowak, I don't think anyone will want to job in 2012.
