John Daly for Ryder Cup Captain?

Think about it.  We haven't been doing that well with anyone else, how about a real paradigm shift?

Daly is the only two time major winner from the U.S. or U.K. to not play in the Ryder Cup. Too bad he was never picked, I figure that would be a good format for him because the occasional blowup hole isn't so punitive in match play.

John Daly has a penchant for quitting when the going gets tough.  He has too much baggage to ever make any conversation concerning captaincy of either the Ryder or America Cup.  His is certainly an interesting story but I have to think most PGA Tour players would not have a lot of faith in his ability to get the job done.

America, having gone with Corey Pavin and Davis Love already, and then then having gone back to Tom Watson, has kind of already admitted that it's going break the old tradition of a captain being in his late 40s and having won at least one major.

Justin Leonard? David Toms? Rich Beem? Has anyone even got Shaun Micheel's number?

The, er, elephant in the room would be making Tiger captain, but I can't see that happening. Ever. Maybe they just hand it to Phil now, and make him captain for the next decade.

I'm not averse to going outside the box, but not with Daly.

How about Phil?  Maybe the first playing captain in a long time.

Guaranteed you would see Pat Perez as a captain's pick, and Darius Rucker as Asst. Captain.

Bring it on boys, what do we have to lose !?!?

Why not? It's not like the conventional choices have done all that well in the past.

How awesome would it be with LoudMouth Golf as the clothing sponsor, and Diet Coke & Marlboro as corporate sponsors.

and here are the alternates

This makes a great trivia question. Thanks, man.

I remember this same topic a while back on here, and I replied "Why Not". Give the guy a shot at it. He's still a good draw for the fans, which would be a good for pro golf. Plus, I want to hear Mickelson piss and moan some more, and Daily would care less.

Daly becoming Ryder Cup captain happens right after Trump becomes POTUS.  The golf world isn't ready for Daly as captain though it would probably be entertaining.  If  it didn't go well for the US team I could see Daly punching Poulter in the face.

when i first heard about this, i kind of thought this was one of those rumor mill idea's that someone threw out there to keep John Daly in the new's......

but when i thought about it,,, could the outcome of him being the Ryder Cup Captain produce a worse outcome than the last few years???

John Daly is the captain the Americans need,stick him in with Phil as his sidekick and the Americans will wipe the floor with the Europeans.

And who the **** uses a word like paradigm on a golf forum??

People who know what it means?  Or how to spell it?

It conveys the precise meaning I was projecting for Daly's potential as captain.

On the above evidence (and being a brit) i think Daly would be the perfect US captain....now leest sit back and watch that statement come back and bite me on the bum!
