Failure is pretty clear. If KT considers the last season a success, I'll never be able to come to a happy medium with him on the decision because we have fundamentally different football beliefs.
Dictate is clear. Ken and his manager used the threat of GC to force our hand prematurely into a deal in which we take on significant risk to keep a coach who has achieved nothing.
As for this "distraction" furphy that keeps getting peddled, in what scenario do people think this was going to be a distraction that genuinely hurts us? If we are going well enough that we're a good flag chance, he gets an instant extension which he definitely accepts. If we're not, the speculation doesn't disrupt anything and we have a cheap and easy out.
A more mature list....I think that KT considered 2017 a success in some areas. Total reorganisation last off season and then the game plan change being bedded in and young players getting opportunity. Something to build on next year. I do sort of wonder though why Tigers were able to get their changed game plan up and going more easily than we did.
You're not a lone wolf on here. You're led by your pals Thundercloud and DazalenkoIt's tough being lone wolf on here but yes future years could be worse if Kenny fails us.
I think it's being done by the person who started the thread: OGC. Go easy on him though - this is a premiership to him.Which wag of a mod keeps changing this thread title every 15 minutes?
Actually the terms "failure" and "success" are totally subjective and dependent on the criteria established to define the terms.
The potential distractions and looming deadlines are not furphies - they are genuine risks and ones that needs to be mitigated in negotiations. I often tell the story of a young negotiator that was sent to Japan several years ago to negotiate a contract. Upon arrival his hosts kindly asked how long he was there for so they could confirm his flights (they now knew his deadline). Being gratuitous hosts and determining this was his first time to Japan they offered to show him some of the local sights and experience some of the local culture (distractions). It probably comes as no surprise that in order to get the contract finalized he was the one who had to make the majority of concessions during the course of negotiations. That's why I say allowing others to control timelines and potential distractions is a very bad negotiating position.
Lighten up fellas. It's a fait accompli. Bad for your health to always focus on the negative. It truly is.

You have me wrong. I like Ken but I was actually neither here nor there about him staying. If Ken had left I would have accepted it and I would have moved on. I wouldn't have spent the next year bemoaning the fact. Of course you can continue your hand wringing if it serves you well. You have plenty of similar minded mates here.Given how much you, Thundercloud and Dazalenko4Cucksville love missing finals and see mediocrity as a virtue we should forever be grateful for, what isn't 'negative' in your eyes?
Scraping into the eight and a week one exit every year?
Because if you were looking at getting amongst the NFL you'd simply adore the Cincinnati Bengals and their permanent head coach, Marvin Lewis.
The future is unknown with or without Hinkley, unless you have some special powers.Signing Hinkley is taking a chance in the unknown?

This place is going to be unbearable next year
Any game with a result below expectations will be met by hordes of german-pretzelling wizzkids coming out of the woodwork to crow about missed opportunities on selection night, weep for SANFL world beaters, cannibalise designated whipping boys and circle and jerk around the dead horses of yesteryear while humming to the endless tune of "4 more years"
