Very simple explanation of a very simple statistic that I feel so many people incorrectly reference when it comes to deciding a new coach

Irrelevant criteria need not be considered, just pick who aligns best with our immediate, short-term and medium-term goals with the view that a coaching tenure should/could last 3-10+ years
 
Agreed. I hope we aren't putting any preconditions on who the next coach is based on irrelevant correlations. I want us to get the best coach, regardless of experience.

How else do we find the right coach?

Of the last 20 premierships:

- 13 were led by a senior coach whose first name began with one of the first four letters of the alphabet,
- 17 were led by a coach with the letter "R" somewhere in either their first or surname, and
- 17 were led by a senior coach whose surname would appear later in the dictionary than their first name if they were both listed alphabetically.

See, science. No need for interviews. Just give me the list of names and I'll get you a shortlist.

No, we need a messiah who is not naughty boy. Rules this guy out

If you were Voss wouldn't you want to just GTFO of the place. Staying put like this in the face of everything seems mind bendingly pointless and must be a horrible environment to be in knowing you are half out the door and waiting for the remaining push. Are these guys so tone deaf/blinded by ego they can't make the call themselves and ride off into the sunset on their terms saying hasnt worked out next guy up. Cut a deal on payout, book an Uber to the airport and hit Fiji and everyone, club included can move on.

That won’t happen…he has pride and he is not a quitter…unlike many of the players.
 
My bet is Wright chooses Skipworth. I hope he can handle the Carlton bureaucracy. Our strongest choice for a proven coach is Longmire by miles.
If they choose Hinkley, I'm just about done.
 
but hearing Jaymie Graham at Freo is a good chance for Head Coach position post Voss

Ironic that Justin Longmuir is in his 7th season as coach and Freo are finally looking like making finals properly. (22 and 25 they were just making up numbers and lost in the 1st week).....

Edit: Cheers for the spellcheck Jatz

I like Hickmott.

Knows the club, hard as nails.

TA
I like him as an assistant coach alongside a developing list. Would also love Kade to come back if he feels he's ready for the challenge.
 
Seriously though.
He would be a second lock down tall defender. Frees up Weiters to play loose and direct the defence alla Moore, Harris Andrews, etc.

Would have Dean and Buku as tall lock-down, Weiters and O'Farrell as intercept,
Young as VFL and backup, Haynes has been good for us but we'll see how long he continues. McGovern as swingman if required.

Good list management for mine.

Not sure how much you've seen of Buku but he's not much of a "lock-down" type from what I've seen.
 
He was hard as nails as a player, is he as a coach? Likes to get the guitar out and sign Kum Ba Yah with the players.
Would work well with the party hats and 'happy birthday' songs the players are singing these days at the club

😂
