We should have done a lot of things, but I no longer believe in the idea that a coach can be a change agent, either as a leader of change, or on their own. You plug a good coach into a good culture, and they contribute and improve that culture, which constitutes a type of change, but the sort of change people seem to expect from a coach is a saviour, rescuing a club, and turning bad culture to good. I simply no longer believe that is possible, and certainly not at Carlton. You just can't turn the tide when you have a hopeless Board and their associated hangers-on against you.
Every coach from Brittain to Teague has been treated badly. They can't rescue a club, despite what some supporters will believe.
