Certified Legendary Thread Sack Hinkley 13 - Another Crack At This

[Butters and Pepper]

The excuses for not sacking him have now officially jumped the shark.

• "Can't sack him because he's contracted and we can't afford the payout"; to
• "Can't sack him because it's not August"; to
• "Can't sack him because he made a prelim"; to
• "Can't sack him because the numbers say he's the winningest coach in Port's history"; to
• "Can't sack him because he doesn't have the cattle"; to
• "Can't sack him because even if he does have the cattle he can't kick it for 'em"; to
• "Can't sack him because who else are ya gonna get?"; to
• "Can't sack him because remember tarps"; to
• "Can't sack him because it isn't the SANFL anymore"; to
• "Can't sack him because he's a good bloke"; to
• "Can't sack him because you can see the job means so much to him and he deserves another crack"; to
• "Can't sack him because there'll be a player exodus if he goes"; to
• "Can't sack him before the B&F because of the look"; to
• "Can't sack him before Trade Week because lucrative targets need to know who the coach will be"; to
• "Can't sack him before the national draft because we will look like football hell to draftees and their parents"; to
• "Can't sack him while heading into pre-season because it will be too disruptive"; to finally
• "Can't sack him if the defining legacy of his career will be him being remembered for flapping his arms and making aeroplane noises like he's trying to feed a toddler brussels sprouts".

Did I miss any?

He wants the job.

The list is crap

He's a great motivator

He's sacrificed his career by playing younger players in the past

Good clubs don't sack coaches mid-season

He's got the support of the other coaches

He single-handedly saved the club

Don't judge him on one game; don't judge him by the whole season

We only hire from within and Josh Carr isn't ready yet

It'd be harsh to sack someone who's just made finals

 

[tribey]

Does the club intentionally do this?

It’s the biggest turn-off in the world.

You’d think we were Fremantle the way we’ve made this klutz the be-all and end-all of our culture and identity.

While Koch and Kenny are running the show, we are the Southern Power.

They love Ken so much, they're invincible. Oh wait........we haven't won anything.

 

[rogerjames]

So we have 7 flag contenders and a further 7 different finals contenders, that's fairly broad I would have thought.

Usual standard of journalism

 

[rogerjames]

Ken didn't want the aeroplane to be his lasting moment said Caro. WE COULDN'T LET IT END LIKE THAT!!

ONLY AT PORT. TOTAL LAUGHING STOCK.

Don't insult Freo. They don't carry on this way.

Charlton Athletic eventually drove out a hated owner who I think may still own the stadium. There are a number of instances mainly at the bottom end of English football where this happened. I believe it was Mansfield Town's owner was attacked by fans and soon after sold up.

Are you saying we should attack Koch?

This a combination of ensuring right in retrospect (we tipped them for finals/flag!) and AFL direction to sell hope so Memberships are up (so they meet their KPI’s and get their bonuses).

idk, they pedestaled a ton of spuds until Pavlich and Fyfe took off.

 

[Grave Danger]

Jason Gillespie obviously didn't have the cattle at the SACA - he's just coached Pakistan to a series win over the Poms, so Kenny, mate, the grass IS greener on the other side - do yourself a favour!

 

[longdonkey]

Are you saying we should attack Koch?

Just saying what happened.

I would say if Port supporters beat the shit out of him he could then say that Port supporters are bastards,

But... We are already bastards

I just don't know where Ken's stubborness and arrogance comes from?

He hasn't achieved anything as a coach.

You can understand when Clarkson and Scott do it but why does Ken act like top shit all the time?

It's a mixture of Dunning-Kreuger and confirmation bias.

He's not a deep thinker about footy, so he overestimates his own ability to think about it, and he keeps getting contracts so it re-affirms his feelings that he's a great coach.

I don't think he does. Always looks like a scared weakling to me.

He's been in foody a long time (400 games plus in fact, without a single premiership as player or coach, except some d league suburban team)

Arrogance does not have to be earned.

Technically, arrogance is an exaggeration or overconfidence of yourself, skills, powers, etc and it shows that you actually are not confident in yourself so your arrogance compensates for your lack.

Having a good perception of your actual powers, qualities, skills is real confidence is very healthy in life.
Last year, when Houston kicked that goal after the siren against Sydney, he did so with confidence.
Arrogance usually crashes and burns.

At the heart of Kenny, he knows he's up against it to win finals so when he does, he does these arrogant things like the plane symbol to the Hawks to remind everyone and himself that he has the skills. Because arrogance likes to take any opportunity to gloat, he gives it to the Hawks but it forgets that there is a game next week when reality will hit hard.

It is just another aspect of Kenny that is against the Creed.

Those two values, stubbornness and arrogance make it very difficult to be successful. As I've said, arrogance overrates your skills and stubbornness doesn't allow to change from that mindset. Thanks David.

And the only real way to help a stupid tyrant like Kenny is to have the head assistant or all of the assistants come together and continually persuade Kenny into changes that they want but make him believer they are his ideas. A very toxic work problem.

I’m pumped for rd1 after reading that.

Hinkley is arrogance in a nutshell. I encourage everyone who's able to attend the AGM to see disdain up close in human form complete with pursed lips, scowl and arms folded.

Can we hire that kid who egged Fraser Anning to get Hinkley?

 

[JimmyBC]

Does he even go the AGM anymore? what's he gonna do talk about the 'runway' and do the aeroplane
