Yep, i would give him that 1 year extension, just on the basis of what i feel his first phase results were. drafting, and devaloing those drafted by him. I am not as harsh as others with his devalopment of those he did not draft, as macca seems to know his own strengths and weaknesses and drafts kids that would suite himself. and his gameplan. Malthouse is no different. he was given 10 years at two clubs each. the final team was micks to a man. Very few coaches get this sort of luxury. I often think micks greatest strength is saving his own ass for long enough to succeed. Now bucks has the role and wants a different game plan...good luck with that...A thought for this thread:
There are some who want to sack Macca immediately, some who want him to see out his contract, and some who want to give him another year and then sack him a year early if we haven't seen an improvement. But the last two views are entirely dependent on the fact the club game him a contract extension this year. If he had never received that contract extension, what would you favour doing with him now his original contract was up?
Speaking for myself, I think I would give him a one year extension. That would be my way of saying, "We want to see more of your plan, but from now on you are going to be made fully accountable."
What about you guys? Are there people who think he should stay for now, but who would have sacked him if he had never received that contract extension?
