You force a succession plan on anyone and they won't like it.
It's effectively training your replacement to do your job most likely before you believe your time is up.
At Collingwood it made no sense to pull that reign at that time. First flag won, finals series looming, minor premiership in reach and a fairly good chance at the flag again. They should have postponed it a couple of years.
All coaches are employees of a football club. It's not up to them to decide when it's time to go. MM's best was behind him. The Pies could see it, and so could all the other clubs that were looking for a senior coach in that time, except of course for the lazy, soft option, quick fix kings.
Supporters will tolerate any amount of failure if they support the regime - compare the 2012 and 2013 W/L and %. Same W/L in both seasons, but 2012 has a better %. Yet 2012 was such a disaster that the coach had to go, bu 2013 gets a pass mark. What a load of farking crap.
