Football Department Review

[Thryleon]

I fail to see how you can conduct a proper review of this magnitude when one or more of the panel are doing their work through Zoom. I understand the reasons why, but they would have been better off waiting until lockdowns etc. were lifted and had everyone at HQ. It feels hobbled and compromised from the beginning. It's very difficult to get a feel for vibe, body language, mood etc. through video calls.

It depends on what is being reviewed.

I hear all these criticisms of a review, but there are many ways to conduct a review.

I was hoping we would be focussing more on structure, roles, and reporting lines, than we would be focussing on people.

The focus on people is what got us where we are.

How does our coaching work?
Who sits on the MC to choose the team each week?
How do our structures measure up, are we deficient in any job role?
Is someone spread across too many roles, and do we need someone to give up some responsibility?

I would be happier if this review looked at how we do things, rather than who does them and I am comfortable if that process happens remotely because the football department should continue doing their job, and their position descriptions is all they really need to work on.

Once that has settled, then we can look at KPI's and who is meeting them.  We have historically judged on wins and losses, and this smells more like process, structure and procedure which I am 100% in favour of.  Either remotely or in person.
