You're hired! AHL team wants Donald Trump as coach (Video)

Ever want to see Donald Trump coach a hockey team?

The Syracuse Crunch would like for this to happen, which is why team chief financial officer Vance Lederman challenged the Republican Presidential hopeful to coach the Crunch.

Check out the above video of Lederman using his Brooklyn background to woo ‘The Donald.’

Lederman doesn’t say if Trump will have any hiring or firing privileges with the Crunch, which should be horrifying to staff members.

Per Syracuse.com:

"Trump's a guy who has done things very untraditional so far,'' said Syracuse owner Howard Dolgon. "It certainly wouldn't shock us if he took us up on a Brooklyn guy's offer. Hopefully it's something he'll pursue."

The Crunch is no stranger to interesting promotions, from this seductive ad campaign to setting the indoor attendance record for a hockey game.

Due to Trump’s busy schedule it seems coaching the Crunch may not be in the cards. But then again, Trump is such a wild card-type candidate, he may just take the Crunch up on the offer.
