Coach from 2027

[puff]

You know sometimes just sometimes being likeable is not a good thing being respected is a far more better quality for a coach to have.

So based on likes on social media Young gets the gig. I say wow just wow. In my day you had to have a resume which included experience and success.

You had to tell management how you could and would improve the club, the team, the players. You basically had to sell yourself.

I wish social media was around when I was coaching I would have had a real shot at coaching 1sts. I was liked a lot. Seriously

It is hard not to respect Dean Young.

If the players love him that means they respect him and won’t question what’s asked of them, they will do it for him. Same thing mate. If players are wishy washy with a coach= no respect, and like pulling teeth

My issue is not personal against Young its based on facts and history. So in the last 36 years we have had 4 previous players who became our head coach.

Craig Young- 41% win record,
Nathan Brown - 53% win record made the semis 4 times in his 6 seasons by far our most successful
Paul McGregor - 46% win record made semis twice
I'll throw in Shane Flanagan- 34.5% win record
Currently Dean Young - 25% win record.

There is an old saying , "Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it." (Winston Churchill ).

I hope history doesn't continue to repeat itself. If it does I hope we can rewrite history.

History lesson over, time for a bottle of rosso vino.

My problem with Dean Young becoming coach isn't the fact he's an old boy and for one reason or another, they have proven abysmal as head coaches. This will always be true until, it isn't. I remember when we couldn't beat Canberra until....... we did. The only thing I care about is frankly speaking, as far as I can see, he has proven to be a poor coach. Interim head coach or assistant.

My view is that this should preclude him talking the head coach position for now.
