The point I was making was that perhaps the role of the senior coach in top level sport whatever sport your talking about isn’t as important now because there are so many coaches at a club and that the culture is largely driven by the playing group.
That’s why your leaders within the playing group are more important than the senior coach these days.
Langer was obviously too autocratic and too old school.
The one thing constant in life is change.
Another constant is the revolving door of senior coaches at Carlton
One thing the club must be on field above anything else is to be harder.
We were a soft team under Teague.
How much is that accountability driven by your player leadership and by your senior coach?
As Vossy said yesterday, he, as the Head Coach, has his hands on the levers to make changes during the game. Its his call, after I expect a more democratic process than was the case in the old days. The Coaching group work on a lot of each others ideas during the preseason that I wouldn't be surprised if an Assistant has a light bulb moment during the game, and the Head Coach decides to go with that.
Ultimately there's only one decision maker in the Coaches Box.
But what I'd like to know is the consultation process during the game, if it takes place like Cummings does with his vice captains warner and smith? Does Cripps have influence in the Coaches Box.
I think we have a modern coach in the Box we can trust in 2022, moreso than we've had in the last decade or two. IMO
