Worst Coach your club has ever had?

If Daniel didn't cheat to win he would be rated higher

 

[Stabby McGee]

Malthouse is the perfect example of players not playing for the coach. Disconnected with the playing group and applied an outdated strategy. Worst coach of the last 5 years. His exit would be amongst the most embarrassing thing to have happened to the club. Absolute sook.

Milkshake was a trainwreck. All he wanted to do was stick it up Eddie, and to get the games record. Added nothing, and didn't seem to care either, and took away a lot from your club. Only he would be able to tell you where his head was at, but it certainly wasn't with the Carlton football club.

Wallet.

Wallet.

What about KB ? His WL ratio was worse.

 

[Mat Mann]

1.Blight
2. Lyon
3.Richardson

Watson after blight then Watters

Blight cos he took the cash and didn’t give a *
Watson just because he was bad
Watters because he suffered from little man syndrome and thought the way to reform was to defy basically everyone at the club, tactically thought he was ok.

Few to choose from

Ayres, Neil Craig, Sanderson, Shaw.

 

[Rubber Snake]

At least Watson admitted he was s**t, Lyon is too arrogant to admit that ,and Richardson just doesn't know what to do..

Mick

the guy who took you to 3 grand finals (2 with a meh list) and only your second flag in 50 odd years?

KB is a club legend. Wallet needs a legendary clubbing.

 

[Brenton Davy]

Robert Shaw

Easily

Nah, the other mick.

 

[DavyRed]

Buckenara nearly helped killed off the club, so it's pretty clearly him.

On the one hand, and to be fair, anyone would have struggled to coach the Swans at that time. Also to be fair, he should never have been given the job in the first place as he was woefully under qualified to take on such an enormous task.

However, I know a few people who were around the club at the time (including a couple of players) who all have stories to tell about his coaching abilities and techniques - or lack there of. He was, in a word, hopeless.

Neil Craig edges out Robert Shaw. Honourable mention to Brenton Sanderson

Two Grand Finals! Seems harsh?

 

[bluedabadee]

How anyone at Essendon could say anyone but Hird is beyond me.

Oh, sorry, Mick.

 

[The Swert]

Everybody on here must be pretty young.
Barely any nominations from before 1990.

My choice for Hawthorn is Bob Catskill. 4 wins and 32 losses in the early 1950s.

Who coached St Kilda through their endless wooden spoon years?

 

[Brad Goodman]

Possibly Hird and Figgy have similar problems. Naturally talented players don't always make great coaches.

Probably not, Bucks has always said he has hard work rather than natural talent to thank for his career.

 

[kreglze]

Guy McKenna, gone to coach cricket now or something after losing his gig as a Bombers assistant.

Are you not old enough to remember Neesham and Drum?

Neesham >>>>>>>>>> Jarrad Schofield >>>>>>>> Drum / Harvey.

 

[Turboman1994]

Ken Judge is the worse results based but that little shitzen period landed us out next flag.

Somewhat controversial but I’d Worsefold is our worst given the keys he was given. Already had Kerr, Cox, Embly, Judd, Glass and cousins at the club when he arrived. Only eeked out one flag with a once in a generation kind of midfield. Ignored off field problems that came back to bite on the ass. As well as been a tactically inept coach and developing the massive boys culture that preceded the party boi era. Great leader of man and grateful for the flag but massively underwhelming in the grand scheme of things

Most coaches are generally as good as their list. Never seen a bad premiership coach and also never seen a good coach come last. There is always better coaches than others but you will never convince me that if Mark Neeld had Hawthorns list that he would not of been successful.

Some coaches are doomed by the list they have, and I think people overestimate the role and control the head coach has over drafting, list management and development too.
