Nope. Rate him as coach. Same as with Roos. Handover planning worked well thread maybe
What if you're not very good at reading and misunderstand the wall?
Long lead in for a handover given he is contracted for a few years more. He was signed up as the list was undergoing a renovation. Club has decided he is the best person to see it through.

The coach who is currently 0-6 with one of the games great forwards in his prime and cant score over 80 points a game is more accurate
6 game losing streak is long enough for some. Even if we win some will complain about the way we won. I'd just be happy for a win at this stage.

That guy
I do want him gone but considering his contract he's not going anywhere.
Very true but Longmire can't out coach the umpires in that one.
Who would you go with in a rebuild? Rookie or experienced coach? Could burn through a few coaches if we get it wrong and sit down the bottom for a fair while.
Who wants him sacked?? we want him to change he has to evolve as the game is changing right before us.
We've been rebuilding on the go in a way. Rebuilding has a lot to do with the whole coaching and development staff than the head coach imo.
True we've had 21 debuts since 2014. Longmire is on a long deal but we could turn over a couple of assistants to bring in new ideas.

That guy
Brendan McCarthy did a good job rebuilding the Dogs and handed Bevo a true work in progress.
Just one thought. I mean there are options everywhere. That ex carlton guy whose name escapes me assistant to Clarkson is not terrible and I thought hard done by.
I voted to not sack Horse btw.
I want him to evolve and win the players back.

When did Dew suddenly become super popular and a must have as next coach? Wasn't he in charge of the forward line or midfield the other year when it was a complete disaster? I'd prefer we did due diligence.

The world's greatest midget coach had Franklin for how many years without a flag?
How many flags did Woosha win with a midfield that consisted of Cousins/Kerr/Judd?
According to you the Roos family of coaches are complete duds and yet they have won 2 flags (+ 1 draw) and played in 8 grand finals in the last 12 years. (2014 was a stinker, 2016 we wuz robbed).
Game plan is but one of the problems. Would probably be easier (not to mention far cheaper) to whisper into Horse's ear that the game plan needs a tweak, don't you think?
McCartney did a great job probably lost the players because he was so tough on their development.
I was thinking more of the Demons where they churned through a few rookies who looked good on paper.

If we were going to get a new coach I would rather it be someone outside of the club tbh, or at least someone who wasn't trained under the Paul Roos academy. I'd like someone who was new altogether and could get us out of this ridiculous culture where being a Blood means it doesn't matter how slow or unskilful you are so long as you're tough and tackle hard.
Our opinions aren't worth much though because Horse is staying for a few years at least

If we have anymore coaching threads we are going to resemble the Collingwood/Buckley threads.

Looking at our youngsters, I think he's rebuilding the wrong way though. We've confused blooding youngsters with rebuilding. He hasn't rebuilt anything. He has the same game-plan and the same mindset as a coach, just with a new batch of personnel. That isn't a rebuild, that's being stubborn and thinking what worked five years ago or three years ago with one team will work now with a different team. This is a key period in the development of a group of kids who could all be freakishly good - Jones, Heeney, Mills, Lloyd, Aliir, Papley, Hewett, Florent, Hayward, Newman - and I just cringe thinking about what being under Horse, who does not value skill or flair, will do for them in the long run

The worlds greatest midget won 2 flags after his best player walked!
Im just saying the reason why people doubt him
He has fallen short more often than not
Prelims arent the goal
No one said dud except for you
You say something made up then attack it
