The professional AFL era demands a quality off field set up which includes the assistant coaches. Implementing player and game systems requires a team approach. Otherwise, you will get found out. Too difficult for a senior coach to carry that sort of load. Although, doesn’t mean the senior coach does not have the most important role in that set up.
Exactly.
The senior coach oversees the plan but the assistants or line coaches scope, analyse, create and implement the execution of each section of the plan. This is the reason many assistants now exist.
The days of the coach overseeing every line and game execution changed a couple of decades ago and some might even remember older coaches struggling with such change.
The very reason you might see a coach now on the bench encouraging and working with his players more or he is sitting at the front of the box bellowing our instructions to his assistants in the back.
Comments like ‘they have pushed an extra up through the middle - what a we doing’ or ‘why do we have a match mis match on ******’, illustrate the game plan.
He wants these fixed by his team and expects them to work it out.Just my 2 cents.
If he has to wait for his assistants to work it out then address it then he isn't a coach of any sort.
Like Mickstar said it flows down.
He is the main man. He plans, he directs, he implements, he adjusts.
If he is just a figure head then he just needs to pack his bags and piss off.
I don't care how the other clubs are set up we are not in others positions. We need someone to take charge and implement change, focus, direction and non negotiables. That can only come from one position at the moment and the only one who can have a real influential effect on our future at this point in time is the head coach not his assistants, not the board, not the leadership group and not by the fans.
If he is the one to take us forward then show some leadership now of see you later and thanks for waisting another 2/3 years.
