Rhyce Shaw.....Risky career move or a free hit?

[Paganism mark II]

Interested on the thoughts of people in regards to Rhyce Shaw’s appointment to fill in the remainder of the season.
I’m only assuming he’s got aspirations of one day being a senior coach.
Doesn’t get much tougher, first game in and playing Richmond on Friday night footy.
Will he be judged on what happens in these next 12 games or is it a free hit for him, taking over a 3-7 team?
I only hope that no matter what happens for the rest of this season, that it doesn’t have a detrimental effect on whatever future aspirations he has

It's a free hit. He's already highly regarded as an assistant, so if North continue to stink it up this year it'll just be confirmation that the playing list isn't very good and it won't reflect on him. If they do well then he's probably locked in as the next senior coach.

If he somehow gets a few wins on the board, he may have more options than just Arden Street too.
Could be a few coaching vacancies by season’s end

I had no idea he was even an assistant coach until this past weekend, so he wasn't even a thought as a potential senior coach in my mind. Therefore, I'd say it's a free hit.

Free hit I reckon.

Though I reckon after the emotion of this week we may struggle to turn up on Friday.

That’s my fear.
They in reality have 5 days to somehow get themselves up for Richmond.
Could go horribly wrong

 

[juss]

To be honest it's both, depending on the results. For this week however, its certainly a free hit. However if he went 1-11 from here, might not help his cause.

It would be interesting to see the sucsess rate of interim coaches and if they end up getting perminate jobs.

Hypothetically if the Melbourne, Carlton, St Kilda and Essendon jobs are available, do you take one of them or North?

I’d be staggered if he chose North over Carlton or Essendon if he had that option

Opportunity knocks.
Has had 2 assistant coach gigs, neither very extended, with two quite different coaches, personalities and styles. If he can condense his lessons learnt into his own methodology, nothing to lose and heaps to gain. At 37 years of age, pretty green, but he is from an esteemed footy family so there will be plenty of support in and outside the club. Hope he does well.

Coaches Association.

Typically I'd say time as a caretaker is usually a free hit. Just look at Brendan Bolton.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says free hit

No chance. They have said they will try to rebuild with picks so expect they will be giving the kids a go to fast track their development and and play the Melbourne 'we are not tanking' game.

I think North would ahve been better bringing in an older-style coach like a Roos and tell him his job is to let them know which players they should trade out at year's end and which players won't make it.

Coaches Association.

So after all coaches vote for their own assistant coach how do they then decide who is the winner i wonder.

 

[Saint12]

Seriously, who the **** votes for that?

I would say John Longmire was the only one who put in his vote last year
