On the Couch and Roos talks down Teague's prospects while talking up Rhyce Shaw at North. He said Carlton can't go down that route again, I guess meaning an untried coach.
The big knock on Bolton was he hadn't played AFL while Teague has. He has also been an assistant coach for a while. Rhyce Shaw is no different to Teague and North didn't have success under Scott who was a first time senior coach too.
No doubt Roos is angling for a payday and a say in who gets our gig.
I just want to point out that most of our coaches with past associations to Carlton have a coaching record of 50% or over. Not so for many of our coaches who had no prior association with Carlton before coming here to coach.
Pagan, Malthouse, Bolton, Brittain - non Carlton people, losing records.
Ratten, Jesaulenko, Walls and currently Teague - Carlton people, winning records.
Of course some of our greatest coaches have been non-Carlton people - Parkin, Barassi.
I just hate this expectation that we have to get a recycled coach and avoid the jobs for the boys mentality. At least you know that Carlton people are passionate and it hurts when we lose.
I watched a replay of OTC this morning and I reached two alternate conclusions on Roos comments.
1. He has already been approached and has agreed to a mentoring role over an appointed Teague, Voss, Ratten etc. or.....
2. He just submitted a job application for that role.
I'm not sure how I feel about it. Just not a fan of Roos because I think self interest is his primary driver, he seems to rarely take responsibility for his teams poorer performances.
