What We, and You, Say About the New CEO
Dan Payne was named USA Rugby's CEO today, July 5, and if you fit into most of Goff Rugby Report's demographic, you might voice a collective "so what?"
Naming Interim CEO Indicates Permanent Choice Not Soon
USA Rugby announced today that COO Jim Snyder will step in as interim CEO.
This likely means that there won't be an announcement soon of a new permanent CEO. That was stated in the release, which said such announcement would be made "in due course."
In Praise of Mike Te'o
So a little note in praise of Mike Te’o.
Mike Te’o came to national prominence a few years ago, when Belmont Shore Head Coach Ray Egan said to me and colleague Pat Clifton that he had a U19 player who was good enough to play for his men’s team. He’s a n odd player, said Eagan, because he’s a hooker, who can play center, and we’ve got him playing on the wing.
