Who should replace Mike Friday?
Now that the longtime USA Men's 7s Head Coach has confirmed what we all expected and stepped down from the job after 10 years, we've got to consider who will take on the job.
CHULA VISTA, Calif. (USA Rugby Release) – Following 10 years as the USA Men’s Sevens Head Coach, Mike Friday today announced he will step away from the program.
(This is an Op-Ed by Pat Clifton)—Wednesday, in front of a packed Stade de France, with both the clock and the USA’s medal hopes dwindling, Spiff Sedrick ripped off an impossible 95-meter run, somehow escaping the grasp of two Australians, who looked to have her dead to rights, to deliver the USA its first-ever medal in Rugby 7s.
In the world of feast or famine for Olympic sports, the feast may well have arrived for the USA Women's 7s program.
It's a Bronze Medal for the USA Women's 7s team, and while many players had a hand in it, in the end they have Alexandra "Spiff" Sedrick to thank.
Without the 2020 MA Sorensen Award winner's astonishing length-of-the-field try, we'd be talking about an Aussie medal instead.
