That's basically what he does now. If that's what the club offers him, and he says "no, senior coach or nothing", then we say arrivedverci. We can't be held to ransom. I am of course being hypothetical about what has or hasn't been offered.
Yes, that's what he's doing now... but he's now realised it aint enough, as demonstrated through his reaction to what Lethal said to him.
I recall, quite vividly, Ross giving an analysis of a game a few weeks back, using the big screen on the wall. He wasn't giving an analysis (though he was!), he was coaching. He was passionately invested in what should be done and why, he was passionately frustrated by what wasn't being done and why. No point asking a frog for his legs only because you like his spring! Gotta take the whole frog... and so it should be.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

I guess so, but my point was really about others like Lyon demanding a particular gig or else no deal.

If every other team is playing free flowing wide running footy his team will be playing close checking ugly scrimmage footy. He thrives on
being different and backing in players like Dawson, Baker, Crowley, Ballantyne who the rest of the league hate. His problem will be the time frame and being able to turn a list around to his style of play. Can he modify his thinking to suit the modern game and work with what he has? He'll need to.

Email From the President.
I wanted you to be the first to know that our football club has today entered its next phase of the extensive independent football department review that has been conducted by external panel members Geoff Walsh, Graham Lowe and Matthew Pavlich.
As communicated last week, the external panel had delivered a final report to me, the Club’s Board of Directors, and CEO Cain Liddle.
This report contains detailed information from key stakeholders across the entire football department and will be used as a basis for our club to make necessary and informed decisions to take the football department forward and improve our on-field performance.
With our AFL season complete, our club is now in a position to fully brief the senior leaders of the Football Department on the review findings. This process will commence this week and will involve consultation between the Board and football department regarding the recommendations provided.
The Club will take the necessary time required to absorb this review and any outcomes or decisions will be made on the timeframe that is in the best interest of the Club, not based on external expectations or pressure.
As always, I remain committed to continue being open and transparent with our members and supporters regarding any outcomes and decisions that will arise out of this review, including the summarised findings, and as such, once this process is complete, our members will be the first to know.

'Final' report? It was 'interim' last week.
I suspect we've delayed things because we're still negotiating with potential coaches, but anyway, I like the way the club appears to be working to its own schedule. Not Whateley's or the rest if the media vultures. So thanks Sayers for politely giving them the F you.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I suspect the club running to "their own schedule" is code for "waiting for an answer from Clarkson".

Seems there's no plan on sacking Teague in a hurry so you could well be right.
