Who hired Bolton?
Was that Stephen Silvagni’s fault as well?
How many premiership coaches are there over last 50 years who have not played at AFL level?
I think it is zero... unless I am mistaken.
So that is quite a gamble betting on going against 50 years plus of evidence. And the clowns stuck with Bolton after the evidence of his coaching was in.
“But in the NFL Bellichick has led the Patriots to blah, blah, blah..,”
Australian football is the toughest, most physically challenging football code in the world. In this game, you want someone who has been in the trenches too. NFL is far more a tacticians game... so using the Bellichick argument doesn’t wash.
Bolton? Isn't this a thread about Silvagni?
FWIW, I thought Bolton was the perfect choicest the right time.
We needed someone who could hold the club together while we totally dismantled and rebuilt the list. Bolton did that.
He also put game time into the kids that will pay off in years to come.
As for playing coaches that haven't played AFL, that's a rubbish argument IMO. The record exists because very few have been given the opportunity. For every coach who hasn't succeeded with out playing AFL, I'd suggest there's another 5 unsuccessful coaches who
have played AFL.
Warwick Capper played 100+ games, would that make him a better coach than Bolton? Move on, Bolton did what was required and he's gone. The foundations have been set and the future should be the focus.
The CEO that we presently have stated that if Bolton goes - he also wants Silvagni to go...that is why it is linked.
