I've heard that Koch is actually quite self aware around his lack of football knowledge/experience and leans heavily on others when it comes to football matters. He's far from the biggest problem at the club.
If Koch jags a premiership in his time here, it will be a fluke. It won’t be because he’s actually Bob McLean incarnate and hasn’t organised a premiership capable admin around him just yet. Whatever self awareness he may have of his lack of football knowledge he doesn’t seem to have the same self awareness in his inability to appoint those to run a successful footy dept.
 
Koch doesn't need to be a football genius for us to win a flag. We just need him to be ruthless and to surround himself with people who will challenge him if things aren't going well. Instead we've got a club full of yes men. The CEO ffs. He's running a best friends club who plays football sometimes. Koch doesn't like holding people accountable, it's difficult, he didn't have to do it in his previous job as a morning TV buffoon.

We could absolutely win a flag under Koch, but it would be in spite of him, not because of him. Maybe if Davies moves on Koch will get lucky and hire a ruthless, high quality footy ops manager. But it won't be because the recruitment starts with that aim. It'll just be luck.

It’ll actually be both though, by definition.

He doesn't need to do that even. All he has to do is stay in his own lane, listen to people who understand the game and bring success.
 
Its just to lower expectations and give an out when they lose.

"We weren't expecting to win that game"

"Unfortunately fans aren't realistic, Gold Coast are a great side"
Conveniently omitting the fact that we would have lost to them for the first time in almost 5000 days.

He would argue that he's doing that by listening to Davies, Hinkley, Cassisi et al. His problem is not looking at something like 2018 and thinking "these blokes don't know what they're talking about".

I think we had a fork in the road with Koch where he slammed the players post 2016 and when they had a sook about it, retreated back into his shell never to hold anyone accountable again.
