No, this is not a "sack Bevo" thread. His departure is surely a given.
What I want to know is which aspiring coaches comprise the new breed? Who are our best options?
We need someone to (a) restore belief among the players (b) restore a decent game plan (c) anticipate the way the game is going (d) restore faith among the fans (e) get the players fit.
I'd imagine that Brendan Lade gets the temporary gig, maybe for the rest of the season. But who do we give the 2-3 year coaching contract to? I don't think Lade is in the front line of candidates and I would hate us to give him the contract just because he rescues our season to say an 8-15 result. That's the soft way out.
Also how do we restructure our assistant coaching ranks? The current mob are a joke and must surely go the same way as Bevo.
While we are at it, let's start the conversation about Chris Grant's replacement. Great bloke but his star surely sinks alongside Bevo's. Again, I don't want a Footscray old boy. I want a hard nut.
