Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach (Part 2) - Full Support of the Board

[adelaidecrows]

The question is: should we * him off mid-season and continue with a caretaker coach, or * him off at season's end? Are we going to miss out on any good coaches if we go too late?

Sack him. Wear the pain now rather than inflict this rubbish on the supporter group and players for an extended period of time with nothing to gain.

 

[Rotayjay]

We need someone at the club to take the situation by the balls and say, 'This is not the standard we accept at this footy club. Nicks, I don't care if we signed you yesterday - you're out.' Then throw the payout at him and seeya later.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Love how Cornes and co are blindly defending him. Is cornes paid by the club?

Cornes is a paid up happy clapper. He will back Nicks in until Nicks is sacked and then he will back the clubs decision to sack him.

 

[Doctor B]

Who are the best candidates for head coach and assistants assuming a total clean out?

Sacking Nicks and hiring Burns after a caretaker role would be classic Crows

A quality club would have sacked him last year.

Roo was supposed to be that someone, thats why its hard to accept that he had anything to do with Nicks new contract. How can someone who rabbited on with such passion for the club and how his aim was for the club to be the measuring stick of the AFL, succumb to such low level mediocrity by accepting a coach who actually never really showed they had the tools to actually coach with the best?

 

[MsTopG]

Absolutely. Surely we’re not so flush as a club that we can afford to sack a coach with close to three years to run on his contract… which again, makes the decision to re-sign him so baffling.

We’re stuck with him for 18 more months you’d guess… but if he does go early, then everyone involved in his re-signing also has to go… and can anyone honestly see that happening.

Stick with him for 18mths and our young talent is playing in victoria.

No a quality club would have waited to see if Nicks could progress this year.

 

[ABAB]

A quality club would have sacked him last year.

After just missing out the 8.

Yeah at this point, we got nothing to lose. A bargain bin coaching department isn't going to do any worse.

 

[MRB37]

You just know Nicks is back there in the locker room right now saying s**t like "It can turn and it can turn quickly". Just keep on doing what you're doing and it'll eventually start working.

Mid season
Caretaker coach then we bring in Nathan Buckley or Dean Cox

 

[MsTopG]

After just missing out the 8.

Yep. 4 years is enough to get a team into the 8.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Mid season

Im ok with round 4

 

[GameofSloanes]

Cornesy - 'hes done a remarkable job'

 

[MsTopG]

Cornesy - 'hes done a remarkable job'

Cheques in the mail.

 

[ABAB]

Yep. 4 years is enough to get a team into the 8.

Did you think we would have even challenge for the 8 last year? I thought we were ahead of scheduled and Nicks still had 1 years left on his contract but you wanted to sack him end of last year?

Roo is football director, it is on him.

 

[MsTopG]

I didnt want him appointed.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Roo is football director, it is on him.

It is 100% and I think he needs to go along with Silvers and Olsen.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Cornesy - 'hes done a remarkable job'

Has he said that tonight?

If so, needs to urgently see a neurologist.

 

[Brett Cummings]

and to think we skipped macrae and kingsley for him.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

It is 100% and I think he needs to go along with Silvers and Olsen.

Yeah, heads have to roll...

Enough is enough!

 

[Peter Doherty]

Has he said that tonight?

If so, needs to urgently see a neurologist.

He just said, 'it was right to sign him when they did, imagine if he was unsigned and they were 0-3'

FMD.

Whoever thought the new contract was a good idea needs to be shot into the sun
