Who said i was?
I was comparing him to every other coach during similar circumstances at our club.
I was comparing him to Teague who took over after him.
They are apples and apples.
If you want to take that a step further and compare against coaches who have coached 80 games or more, then he has the 2nd worst record....or worst in 100 years.
Now, we've had some issues during this time, sure. 25 years since our last flag.
But.....Swans, Dogs went 60-70 years, Cats 50+ years, Dees are 60 years now, Dockers haven't won one in their 25 years....saints have only won 1 in 125 years of footy.
Fitzroy have been booted from the competition. Bears too.
So there are plenty of 'sh!t teams/clubs etc' going around.....but none have performed worse than with our mate.
So compare him to whoever you want past, present and future. He was found lacking. Simple.
I'm not saying its 100% his fault.....but you are saying its 0% his fault....and i cannot buy that....and nobody else seems to either.
Whatever % it is in reality is purely speculative.....but it is not zero....or 1%....it is somewhat significant.
