Congratulations to the club. With Sheens heading the coaching I have hope again.
Well done to Maguire for accepting the demotion to figurehead. it can't be easy.
We should all now get behind Sheens and the club and move into our improving future.
Wow that’s a winning move from the club if that’s the case ,Sheens head coach .. Maguire figurehead coach ? the new position created by the review board to cover everyone’s failures .
Well I suppose it’s like 6 home grounds now the board are collecting coaches you do not want to pay one out so you employ another only at the Tigers ??
We still need to get pascoe, Lee and hartigan away from first grade recruitment.
Hartigan needs to have final say on recruitment, with a little guidance from Sheens.
And surely with guidance from Madge as well Cochise.
He is the Head Coach, so surely he gets a say in who he feels he can best work with.
Should be the other way in my opinion.
Why?
I am more talking about as a mentor, I am happy for Madge and Sheens to have input into recruitment decisions, but strongly believe the final decision should rest with Hartigan.
Genuine question. How does that work with the concept of a coach's accountability? I wouldn't want to be accountable if I didn't have final say on my team.
There are not many sports in the world where coaches have final say over the roster.
OK, agree to disagree. From previous posts I believe you are a CEO and I was for 15 years before retiring. In my role I would only accept accountability if I chose my team. You can't do it from day one because there are incumbents but, over time, I chose and shaped my team to produce the best outcomes for my organisation.
A coach is not a ceo though. I am not happy to have the future of the team in the hands of the person that is in the most transitional position in the organisation, a position that is often reliant on short term success, a position that requires no qualifications in financial management. The coach is employed to coach the team, I am happy for him to have input into the roster and who he would like to sign, but after that it is someone else role to manage the squad. I want the team built for the next 10 years and not to maximise the chances of the coach getting an extension. Many coaches sell the future for short term success when handed the keys to a club.
I feel you are being a bit over dramatic when you say "many coaches [your referring to Madge obviously] **sell the future** for short term success **when handed the keys to a club"**.
No one is going to hand Madge the keys. Not you, not me, no one.
Imo, Hartigan is responsible for the decision of a potential players $$$ value which I would imagine is then put to the Team of Madge, Pascoe etc.
If Madge with his infinite wisdom says he prefers to not coach player a. but prefers to coach player b. who are both within Hartigan's $$$ guideline, then surely Madge gets to choose.
