That would be nice.

We need a coach with self discipline who will expect the highest levels of it from his players ...

Fine them if you need to. $100 bucks a miss/drop into next years Good Friday kitty.
No expectations of them ever being able to afford to buy a house then?

There are no others
A couple of years ago Horse was interviewed and asked if he'd consider coaching on after the completion of his Sydney gig and he said he would not, instead saying he and the family would return to the family farm near Wagga Wagga.
Has a house/land in Yarrawonga I believe. Maybe his sights are set on coaching the Mulwala lions.
I have question marks about Longmire.

He inherited a good side that has been artificially propped up and hasn't shown me enough to convince me he has the capabilities to drag a side up the ladder. His game style is hardly breathtaking viewing either.
Game style has been awful, but well geared to the confines of the SCG. You’d have to think it would change to suit a different home ground.

I'm not convinced on him either but the bloke isn't even 50 and has the following CV:
  • Premiership player
  • Premiership assistant coach
  • Premiership senior coach
  • 2x grand final coach
  • 7x consecutive finals series under his senior coaching
He clearly has some idea how to get a side into contention and win the whole thing.
He didn’t walk into a ready made side as some suggest on here ala Chris Scott. His role under Roos was important in building the side that he came to inherit.

Why would we invest in someone based upon the premise he could achieve that mate?

Hard no on Longmire. Might be struggĺing with tactical changes forced by 666.

Get an assistant coach, not too long out of the game who has worked and played under different systems, get a senior mentor, and develop a game plan to suit the list. Mitchell, Shaw, Longmuir, Nicks, Caracella and possibly Kingsley. Important that the coàch has come from a strong performing side in 2018.

Probably Caracella and Mitchell the top picks.
