The reason we won't get one us because we are looking to one man to lead us there and to do it in a very short period of time.
You can make an excuse to sack any coach. We would have fired Dimma in 2013 if he was coaching Carlton the length before hand.
Look how not sacking him worked out for Richmond.
In fact, you make a ladder of teams in order of how many coaches they've gone through in the last 20 years, and tell me which teams have performed the best.
Having done this exercise, fewer coaches correlates with more time at the top than not.
More coaches means instability, players leaving because the environment isn't conducive to cohesion and bonding thanks to constant change, and just generally breeding divisions in groups that hate the incumbent vs like him.
Carlton's problems come from way, way back. It is the people in the shadows that have killed this club time and again. The Puppet masters with big money and big mouths. They drip, drip, drip away with constant complaints. Those complaints permeate through the Coterie Groups and onto their mates that Hold actual positions. From there, knee jerk reactions tend to happen.
Carlton is its own worst enemy because the wealthy backers having the wrong ears. We consistently devour our own because we want instant satisfaction.
Dimma was saved because of who they put around him. It enabled him to do his job and guys like Balme and Gale kept the rest at arms length until the club got up and running.
Carlton has been searching for its own Balme, O'Neal and Gale for years but have had no luck because of the various factions trying to insert their own mates.
I hope Sayers is our straight shooter and he doesn't get undermined. We know Williams is a straight shooter. We need a CEO who is there for all the right reasons. He needs to be a calming influence with football street smarts. He needs to be the one to tell the Puppet Masters behind the Board to 'Back off.'
From what I have seen of Buckley, if he doesn't want to Coach a team I think he would make an excellent Football Manager to replace Lloyd. He doesn't suffer fools, he is methodical and he also appears to have a great BS detector. He knows the pressure the Coaches are under and he can speak to the Coach from a position of "I understand I have been there as well."
