Agree that we should not make any knee jerk reactions.
Not should we allow ourselves to be panicked by the risk of losing the messiah coach to a rival.
But I hope the process includes an assessment of Teague after the season IF we win 6 or more games for the year (which I thought was minimum bar at the beginning of the year but 5 wins a good achievement from 1-10 when he took over).
He has more experience than, say Rhys Shaw, and has coached his own team.
BUT we’d need to see more wins and, even more than that, clear and deep evidence from the 11 matches that he is the guy, beyond the honeymoon period.

As a club we still need to follow the process. Because as history has proven, (with the exception of a couple) we have more chance of getting it wrong by just appointing Teague in this "honeymoon" period.
As conveniently pointed out in this article this morning;

It's not to say Teague isn't our man, but historically it is more likely that the change was made for instant wins, morale and membership sales (and we did trade our 1st pick away too). The question is and in Teague's own words when the "I'm just having fun" stops and it's time to get serious about a finals push, does his style, game plan, tactics and ability get us there?

This is why the club still needs to follow the process and not make an emotional knee jerk decision because everyone is having fun, that doesn't win premierships.

That article doesn't know whether it's coming or going. G Thomas wasn't successful but N Craig was? Is he saying without a flag caretakers have been failures?
The facts he presents shows a positive in appointing caretakers

... this is why we need to follow the process with the romantics of an ex Carlton player at the helm put to one side.

Does this mean you're putting a line through Mick McGuane?

Major buzz kill too. Geez man - 4/43 and now 2/3 ... let us enjoy the moment!

If he could've been bothered to do some research it would've been interesting to examine the win-loss ratio of coaches appointed on passion vs those appointed via "the process". I'm not so convinced that the latter approach is the be-all that the suits seem to think it is.

Yeah. It's great to look forward to games instead of dread them.

I agree some more numbers would've been good to properly compare. But in our own recent history of promoted coaches, Brittan didn't work, Ratten didn't have the team and the board wanted more than finals and Barker had the worst team we've ever had. This could just be bad luck, either way due diligence is required at this point of the rebuild.
