Our next Coach - Who do you want?

[mike ockerts]

Stewart Dew for me, would be a great get.

I don't see how it's unsavoury by asking people's opinions on who MIGHT be a good option IF we get a new coach?

Interesting that you chose to emphasise might and if. Not seeing too much of either in many of the posts...

What's the harm in waiting a week or so? This thread is not much better than the media witch-hunt that looks like it will finally get its man.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

They call him Jesus for a reason.

If we can get Judd to play on for another year, we could have God playing and Jesus coaching. No messiah complex here...

excuse my intrusion...
i grew up with watching epic and i mean epic games with you guys...
i want the Carlton that we hate, yet respect...
i remember 40 odd thousand at Victoria Park in 1970...
full houses at Princes Park where the games were electric and as a kid in that era felt completely safe...
it needs to start at the very top and build up that culture of yours again...
all the best...

Because he's not a dead set certainty to go. The odds might be heavily against him, but there's still a chance they might keep him on. Do we really need to preface every comment with "If he goes..."?
What's the harm in waiting a week? No harm, but in all seriousness, what's the actual harm in having an open discussion about it now?
Do you participate in discussions about the following week's team? Do you talk about list management and who should be delisted or traded? Have you offered an opinion on who should be the next captain? Have you said that we should stop playing player x because they aren't part of the future?
If you haven't, then good on you for sticking to your guns, but if you have, you're standing on a wobbly soap box.

No intrusion. Remember the 80's & 90's well myself, not so much the 70's. It'd be nice to have those days back.

 

[The Blue Baggers]

either one of

nathan bassett has an excellent record @ SANFL level (same breeding ground as Clarkson)

stewie dew has premierships @ port & the hawks plus assistant coaching experience @ the swans

maybe worsfold

but please no soft footballers come coaches (ie Neeld) , stay away from tudor

We are a basket-case club engaging in basket-case behaviour...

The club's that repeatedly eat their own do not succeed. I don't think it is at all unreasonable to want discussion of our next coach to wait until it is confirmed that the incumbent is no longer our coach.

And for the record, I have certainly engaged in discussion about which players should come in/out of the side, as I have about trading etc... Bit different to replacing a bloke before he's even been sacked. Finally, I was also on the record that Ratten had lost my support as our coach. Can't remember ever jumping on him like MM has endured. I just think any coach of our club deserves better.

 

[RAPPA]

I am not an advocate for or against him, but given his lack of coaching credentials, would supporters be weary of Ling getting the top job?

So Judd to Coach? Make him player/coach like Barassi now and lets see what he can do... Closest thing we have to a Messiah.

It worked out so well for channel 7 superstar Tim Watson at St Kilda.

 

[BazzaBlue]

Real Madrid just sacked Carlo Ancelotti. Can we afford him?

Haha true. Speaking of the SEN messiah:

No way I would want Ling for the top job with no experience!

Seems perfect candidate for assistant coach tho.

This thread asks the question 'who do you want as the next coach?' It's not saying 'sack Mick' and it doesn't say that it should be tomorrow, in 2 weeks, or at the end of the year when his contract expires (in fact the OP says new coach from 2016). At the very least, his contract is up at the end of the year and I would hope that the club is in the process of looking at options, regardless of the outcome in a couple of weeks. That's not a witch hunt.

I fail to see the difference between this and speculating on the trade value and future of an existing player.
Let's just use Walker as an example. Long time servant of the club, still contracted and when healthy, still in the best side and offers a bit (playing regular games). Saying that we should consider trading him at the end of the year for a 2nd round pick, is not only replacing him before he is sacked, it's putting a value on him AND replacing him with a nameless number.

 

[setantypants]

I want Ratts or Dew.

Ye...this is going nowhere.

I'll leave you guys to it...

hypotheticals for hypotheticals' sake. feel free not to visit this thread.

 

[CUG81]

Stuart Dew for me.

Ratten will never come back...was treated very poorly...i feel embarrassed for our club over what they did to him.

 

[Draft Buster]

Dew or Bassett to build the future

 

[DaVillaBlues]

LOL @ people voting for Ratten, you honestly think Ratts would come back and work for the crooks who fired him (the board/admin I'm talking about, not the club itself)

Voted for Leigh Tudor, being on his bandwagon for months .. Just ticks all the boxes for me.

 

[RAPPA]

It's not Ratts' fault he had ears like that. Such harsh treatment.

 

[outabounds]

I think we may find out in a few minutes ( for the rest of the year at least)

 

[V_23]

Think the club should offer the new coach a four-year contract, instead of the usual three years, to show we're dedicated to a full rebuild.

 

[crows dude]

I want Bassett to be Crows next coach so I hope you dont get him.
