Actually for all that, he was a bloody good coach at the Bulldogs, especially the first years. Wow did we bunch above our weight back then.
Great game strategist , player psych and motivational work... also ruthless when needs and high expectations.
And he was fantastic at talent identification - having him on your table come draft time was like having a soothsayer in your midst
We were lucky enough to get one of his proteges at AFC - he was amazing.
