Can give you recent examples of changing the coach. Bulldogs, worse than us in 2014, next year change to Beveridge, finalists and premiers. Even Ratts took us from the pits of absolute crape to finals within two years. Hinkley took Port from the absolute pits of crape under Primus to a Preliminary Final the next year. Just some examples of success, or at least improvement.
I'm thinking of clubs like Geelong (Thompson), Pies (Buckley) and Richmond (Hardwick), who figured out if their coach was the right person for the job, and then stuck with him through the tough times, and gave him all the support he needed.
I don't know if Bolton is the right man for the job. But he doesn't have much to work with.
