Football Department Review

[LP]

Would be interested to gauge opinions.....IF....and only asking the question here.....if Teague was moved on, in all honesty, what are the coaching options available to us? We surely don't go down the path of an untried senior coach again? You would only move Teague on if there's a better option.....outside of Clarkson or Lyon, who would we seriously consider? Is Brad Scott one that would be on the list?

Lyon isn't really an option, he is Malthouse like in that he's taken the same game plan to the different venues and built a list to suit, that would mean throwing out much of what we've got. Our list of skinnies does not suit a Lyon game plan and never will. But I suppose if you think what we've got is mostly worthless then maybe it's feasible we need another rebuild.

Clarkson is more likely to make use of what we've got, would it be better use of what we've got, that is hard to say. Would he have any real pull to change club culture, well Malthouse didn't why would Clarkson. The real drivers of change in the Dawks club culture was initially Ian Dicker, then Jason Dunstall as CEO who basically prevented Kennett from laying waste to all the progress!

Anyway, if it's a Clarkson or Lyon driving club culture, why do we even need that, it's that a matter for the Board and Executive?

Is changing the coach fundamentally the Board and Executive obfuscating responsibility for cultural change? I'd suggest what Dicker and Dunstall did at the Dawks was the exact opposite, they could have folded under Kennett's pressure and Clarkson might have been kyboshed, it was sticking the coarse under those pressures that got the Dawks where they wanted to be!
