The board is spending far too long deciding if they’ve done a good job and whether they’re justified in sticking around because they still have something to contribute.
Completely the wrong approach. The logic of their position is irrelevant. At some point you simply stand aside and let someone else have a crack. Regardless of whether you think you have done or could still do a good job.
I’ve posted this before: the same Glenelg board sacked five coaches looking for success before finally realizing maybe they were part of the problem and they just had to let someone else have a go. The next board all committed to a 5 year plan. In that time Mickan led them to a GF. They stayed another 2 years hoping to replicate it. President at the time Gary Metcalf said to me each year you just have another crack, and then at some point you move on and let someone else try. They did that and the new board under Nick Chigwidden eventually lined up all the pieces for a flag.
I was there through all of it. I saw it all unfold. I saw what needed to be done. I saw them do it.
And I realised: there’s no logic.
No matter how good you think you still are - Just. Let. Someone. Else. Have. A. Go.
