We're currently ranked 6th in terms of points scored, only behind Sydney, Collingwood, Melbourne, Adelaide and Essendon. Collingwood and Melbourne are probably the two best teams, and Essendon and Sydney have both gotten to play Hawthorn already which has inflated their totals, while Adelaide has gotten to play us - all three of them have had easy to score against sides that we haven't yet.Carr the player was tough, not the faux-tough we have had in recent times.
I’d be ok with him as the figurehead long term but the real issue would be whether he keeps all the wood-duck assistants like Bassett and Cornes.

Our forward line is looking good, even while carrying a massively out of form MG, its not the issue. Dixon is actually trying to mark, our smalls like Butters are playing like genuine crumbers again, and there is already some synergy with Rioli, Todd, etc. On the basis of the three rounds so far, Chad shouldn't be in the firing line.
True and quite possible. If we can get in a proven forwards line coach then that's great.That’s fine but if the replacement isn’t Carr the new coach will be bringing their own team of assistants so Chad will most likely be gone anyway.
Addition by subtraction.One thing to consider is that with our already stripped back coaching dept, sacking Hinkley and shifting Carr into caretaker Head Coach role, is how we resource our coaching dept for the remainder of the season.
Can we pull someone in from elsewhere for just this season?
Or do we just suck it and live with having a less than bare bones coaching panel?

Carr as caretaker: YepCarr as caretaker: Yes.
Carr as crown coach: Nah.
And kept her under control, which is vitally important.When Josh was premiership coach of North Adelaide he wasn't an insecure egomaniac and had Jenny Williams working with his league and reserves players because he appreciated what she brought when he was a player.
I think I've got a relatively low cost option that would be just as good as Ken...One thing to consider is that with our already stripped back coaching dept, sacking Hinkley and shifting Carr into caretaker Head Coach role, is how we resource our coaching dept for the remainder of the season.

You've talked me into being ok with Carr hahaI don't think Carr is a Hinkley disciple.
He was a ruthless footballer and has the right mentality.
He coached a flag in his own right at SANFL level, breaking a 27 year drought for that club.
He spent 3 seasons at Freo where they've had a top quality developing program over the past couple of seasons, going through a full rebuild and making the finals last season.
He comes across as intelligent and well spoken, even when he's lying to cover up the failures of his boss.
That's a pretty solid apprenticeship.
I know we keep saying "go external", but Carr is hardly fully ingrained in the Hinkley system and he's done a very solid apprenticeship. He's probably not my first choice but he's absolutely got the resume and the ruthless attitude.
Has a coach of one club gone to coach another club in the 21st century?Nah
Schofield, dimma or Bucks though
IMHO koch should be cleared of immediately he has been the architect of the the greatest debacle in the history of this club and should not touch anythingI believe the Carr succession plan is a thing. This is all Koch's way of pushing out Ken while not getting that core of players seemingly devoted to him offside. it all fits with his stability mantra.
It seems like it.Was he running the show when Ken got kicked out of the box?
I don’t think Ken was too bad about it. Seemed light-hearted enough.It seems like it.
Ken didn't seem impressed in his presser.
