2024 Richmond Coach

Ted Lasso. He has successfully coached two codes and knows the Richmond way. :ROFLMAO:

No to Pyke he destroyed a football club and the same for Hinkley his a pretender. Leppa is my man followed by Jaymie Graham highly rated in WA.

The thing Benny said was they are looking for a coach for the next 10 years. Andy Collins is 58. It would be a Chris Fagan style of appointment. I can't see it fitting our brief.

My assessment of potential targets:

- Leppa: failed at Brisbane in a tough environment. But showed little in the main seat. Think he's a line coach
- Rutten and Teague - see Leppa
- Giansiracusa - seems a strategy guy, doesn't exude passion
- Yze - see Gia
- Caracella - I like him but have concerns about all the jobs he's been overlooked for. There must be a key deficiency somewhere
- Cameron - looked like a deer in headlights
- Hansen - worth a look
- Carr - worth a look
- Buckley - interesting watch. Part of me says, no way, part of me says worth a look
- McQualter - how many caretaker coaches have gone on to stick around, let alone winning premierships? Think he's up against it
- Burns - hasn't been around successful clubs as a coach
- Schofield - massive WAFL record and has been at a relatively successful Port over the past few years. Definitely worth a look.

Leppa took over the mess Voss created and he inherited rejects. His involved himself with us and so highly rated and now at the pies to.

Leon Cameron, not sure if he could go from coaching a skilled side to a side whose skills are very suspect.
I don’t like the idea of buckley.
Would not be unhappy if we looked at Simpson, Grigg, Knights, Longmire or Newman, but I have every confidence in Benny and the club to make an informed decision.
 
Surely there are some assistants out there who have proven themselves, and are worthy of a chance to coach our great club!?

Simpson, Cameron and Pike all get a (n)(n)(n) from me.
Hinkley... yeah nah.
Caracela, potential, but been overlooked a bit. Why?
Leppa, IMO should be in with a shot, along with the guys from Freo and Port
Yes, I am still an Andy Collins fan, but reckon he has no chance. :D

Interesting times ahead for us.

That would be my only concern with Hinkley. Not sure he could be a dynasty coach. Looks emotionally tired and i think if he were to win a premiership not sure he would have the fight and energy to keep backing it up

You’d look tired if your boss was publicly threatening to sack you every couple of years.
From memory Hinkley ran a close second to Dimma when we appointed him

And there were more than a few early days who maintained we should have appointed Hinkley and not Hardwick.

Yeah, that particular one died hard. Hinkley had taken them to a couple of prelims by then, and there was the EF in 2014 when Cotch selected to kick against the breeze, and it was all over by quarter time.

All very well looking at tried and tested coaches but most are out of a job for a good reason so for me, I would go for one of the good assistant coaches around to get new ideas and be more innovative. Didn't do us any harm when we took on Dimma did it?

A change in head coach midseason doesn't necessarily mean a drop off in performance at a club. I have supported an unfashionable English football team for over seventy years and had seen plenty of downside, even dropping out of the EFL for as few seasons. Now we are riding high in the championship and teams fear us. Since being back in the the championship we had a great head coach who at mid season moved on to another club and we picked up a relatively inexperienced coach to replace him. This new coach, at the time of writing has since taken us to one game away from the English premiership to be played on Saturday. This just shows that if you get an good innovative coach and you have the right team spirit and culture, anyhing is possible.

Where’s Tony Free. He sounded out Dimma a good 12 months before we appointed him, problem was he wasn’t very discreet about it. Doubt we’d use his services this time around

Hinkley seems to have this for me - even last year he had that emanating from him. Footy such an outcome business - he is a Dursma dropped mark away from a grand final and a few Charlie Dixon set shot misses away from a bazillion knock out final wins vs West Coast.

Puts a new twist on Jack Graham visiting Hinkley in Adelaide.

I’ve disagreed with plenty of his views; but potting him when he may not even be on here atm is not a good look.

Good on you for calling it out.

I don’t understand how this stuff is allowed when it is against the site rules. Are they ever enforced at all?

Pisses me off that some of the posters who really make this forum worth reading like TBR and Bullus are being driven out by this sort of garbage.

Hardwick burnt out after 14 seasons, who's to say Hinkley isn't far off burning out too and needing a break.
