Single Coaches

[Cuzz09]

Has there ever been a coach who was single?

Just thinking of Nathan Buckley tonight and the amount he thinks about the game - he lives, breathes, sleeps footy - I can imagine having a wife and kids to come home to helps him chill out - even for 20 mins.

If there was a single coach I can imagine how it could take over your whole life (moreso than normal) - you would just get home, order a pizza and go over more stuff.

Cant think of anyone who has been single?

Isn't Brad "The Messiah" Scott single?

 

[Smokeyr67]

I was mostly single when I coached the Jindalee u/9's, but I was 15 at the time

Is he??

Ah there ya go,...I wonder how he handles everything. Im sure once you get into a routine you would have to find some time to chill out.

I wonder if he has a spare room full of white boards/DVDs/Big screen for studying etc..

One of the Scotts is. Can't remember which one.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Actually thought both the Scotts are or were until not long.

There would have been quite a few, and more as coaches get younger and younger.

Yeah that is true.

I wonder if the guys deciding on a coaching panel take this into account when making their choice?

I thought both Scott's were single too..........

I actually think being single would be good as a coach. Yes a wife and kids take your mind off things but that is full on too.

He has a cousin that helps him out with match tactics, and the selection process. Somewhere in Wendouree i believe.

 

[Nolsey21]

If there is, you would definitely thinks hey would be able to have more time to dedicate to footy

I hear he often stays over.......just to get away from the hustle and bustle of coaching life.

His cousin is aware of his wants and needs

chris referenced his father-in-law being unhappy about his 'best day of my life' comment.

Brad was single when he started at North, but I seem to remember him paying tribute to his partner/girlfriend during his speech last year's B&F count. So I think he is taken for the moment, unless anything has happened over the last few months.

EDIT: Found it here (at 5:05) if anyone is that interested; TBH I can't for the life of me work out why you would be.

It's the mutual respect often found in close knit families.

I thought that was hilarious, said something like "He was unhappy when I said it was the best day of my life, but then my wife said it was the best day of her life too."

And Huddo made some sort of suggestive noise, as if Scott showed his wife how happy the day had made him later on.

I seem to remember him meeting her at a Hawthorn game

Strong hetero.

 

[HurlsMeister18]

Scott no girlfriend

 

[peppy la pew]

Scott no girlfriend

Don maybe, but i can assure you that Brad is in a very healthy relationship with a female Hawks fan

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Yeah that is true.

I'd be extremely surprised if so, not to mention it maybe being kind of discrimination.

Everyones different, for some people a family may help with relaxing down time, others may struggle to manage their time. It's all about the individual and their ability to do the job.

Do reckon theyd all need understanding partners! As would any senior business execs etc...

I suppose, you can't argue with the truth, though.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Imagine if the Scott twins married identical twins and they had 2 boys and 2 girls each and they were identical themselves.

That would be nuts.

On the flip side, I can see having a spouse or partner like that being a distraction from the job - having to split time and energy, the inevitable arguments and fights.

Single coach would be able to be more dedicated. Feeling lonely? Get a dog, they don't complain because a tactics session ran 3 hours overtime.

Didnt she leave him for Ben Warren?
