Michael voss is who we want next.
Just stop him from getting too involved with recruiting. Comes from Port who play one of the best brands of footy out there.
Already failed once. Winning record was 39.9%, even less than Teague at 42%, and that was a after a good first year. Last thing we need is to risk a coach that failed in our situation.
So what you are saying is that he hasn't learnt anything in his time at Port as an assistant coach (another one who prematurely became a senior coach without the apprenticeship) and despite what he's experienced at Port Adelaide we can't see him become a better senior coach?
Or should we go someone more like Ross lyon who's not coached in any way with current interchange caps, 6-6-6 rules?
Note, there isn't anyone available with a great record who you'd do cartwheels about and I see Voss as someone who is less polarizing than a lot of other options.
You don't know if he has improved if he was back in the top job. Utter gamble. When selecting anyone for the job the CV history is important. Learn or not, he showed he struggled in the big job. You want to go with someone who failed in the top job? In our situation that would be utterly stupid. Last thing we want to risk.
Don't really want Lyon either. Brad Scott is probably the best of them which is saying something. Got a bit out of an ordinary side. Not that keen though. There is no-one of the available experienced coaches that I want. There's probably alot better amongst the assistants around the traps. Our board has a closed mind though. Need to throw it open. First timers would likely run away from our job as they know there's a big chance of "career finished".
