Sacking Coaches

Any AFL team that doesn't make the GF should sack their Coach. Clearly according to many that is the sign of failure in a Coach. That way we can get 16 new coaches each year. Think of the headlines. Think of the threads on Demonland and all other boards. We could knock all other sports off the front pages. The only problem I see, is that some will agree with me.

    Sometimes winning the grand final could be seen as failure too. Sack all 17.

    And sacked coaches should only be replaced by experieced premiership AFL coaches who breathe fire.

    And coach sharing may have be enforced so a ageing Leigh Matthews may have to coach two teams...

    He will be so (yawn) sweepy...

    Of the 18 teams next year, 7 will have new coaches.

    Ironically, the bottom three teams from this year will all have the same coach!

    Yes, Matty McKvoss.

    Great multitasker!

    And of the top 8, only three have an experienced premiership-winning coach (Malthouse, Clarkson, Worsfold). The other five have coaches who had never previously had a senior role before becoming coach of their current club (Scott, Ratten, Lyon, Hird, Longmire). Three of them are in their first year.

    No that can not be right untried coaches are no good and should never get a gig. and that Clarkson and Worsfold are both at there first club.

    So that means Malthouse Claekson and Worsfold must coach six clubs each next year.

    UNKNOWN FACT> In 1897 the VFL started with 8 teams, In 1898 seven teams tried to sign an experinced flag winning coach. cause thats the way to success.
