Who would make such a promise though? I'd love to think it was true. Suppose though that Hinkley jags a premiership, or even gets us to a grand final next year. Are they really going to be get rid of Hinkley then to keep that promise? That would be almost unprecedented.
Do you mean this is a promise that Hinkley is aware of or one that Carr is meant to keep secret from Hinkley?
I do agree though that is rare for an assistant coach to transfer to another team and take on exactly the same role, certainly one with ambition who is looking for advancement.
Is it actually rare? Assistant coaches shuffle sideways all the time, especially when they are looking to get home. Carr might be from WA but he moved back the first time to play with his brother, and the second time to further his coaching cv but keeps finding a way back to Alberton. Ever thought he just likes it here, and his wife does too because she is from Adelaide?
Could be reading way too much into this. Schofield did the same thing in reverse.
