That's actually a pretty damn good record for a senior coach. Even the best have a winning percentage in the 60%'s.
Why'd we get rid of him for Frawley again? Did an attempt to get Kevin Sheedy backfire on us again? I can't remember.

I would have been happy with either coach, as they both semed to have strengths.
Hardwick is only going to succeed if those around him i.e. recruiters succeed in their job also.
Im glad that after all these years it appears to me that we have some administrators who give some thought and consideration into future planning and the importance of process in key decision making.
Lets hope that everybody works together in the persuit of excellence both on and of the field.

Given the current love of process in football I really wanted a interdepartmental steering committee guided by a strategic road-map informed by 360 degree stakeholder analysis to be announced our new coach.
Failing that I'll happy with a hard nut back pocket who won a couple of premierships.

Be careful how you define you're scope there Col. - I could get you Ted Smith from Nar Nar Goon - a hard nut back pocket who won a couple of premierships.
I wouldve been happy with either....So well done Hardwick. The fact Hinkley wasnt able to start the RFC job till the Cats season was over was a little bit of a worry. This list needs a complete overhaul and will require an incredible amount of work over the off season. Need to start the culling asap.
Not sure, cheese sandwich, Hardwick played in premierships and Hinkley coached premierships even though at lower leagues.
For some reason I thought we would go Hinkley.
It will be interesting to see how it goes.

What he like at mainstreaming gender sensitivity into a team selection policy that maximizes opportunities for upwards feedback from the community?Skills said:
Seriously, I'm glad we've got Harwick, but I do wonder for all the much talked about process whether what got him over the line was a bit of that old school footy bias form the selection panel towards players who played in premierships.
Games against Hawthorn will be interesting now.
Dimma will bring in the 'how to beat Buddy' methods.

This has been a very "Un-Richmond-like time." I can't remember a Melbourne cup field ever wanting to coach Richmond before. Usually, we just wake up one morning to read about the latest coup at Tigerland and how we had a new coach, generally a mate of the new President. The only time I can remember the club going to the market-place looking for a coach was in 1999, and then all they did was approach potentials and get knocked back until they ended up with a choice between Danny Frawley and Brian Royal.
I've always thought that whoever gets the job at Richmond this time around has more to work with than many might think. Wallace stuffed up in many ways and he has been roundly criticised, and rightly so. Nonetheless, the bones of a good side are there, it just needs some work.
The group of candidates for the job was heartening because it was clear that prospective coaches could see this potential at the club. If not, they would have cleared out long before a job offer was made to them. Generally, they hung in and kept going for the job until the club said "Thanks, but no thanks."
That inital shortlist for interview was a "who's who" of AFL coaches-in-waiting. Beating people like Leon Cameron, Justin Leppistch, Ken Hinkley and Alan Richardson is an achievement in itself. This time around, the administration is stable, the finances are good, the facilities are on the up, we have some good youngsters and now we have young coach to go with them.
There's a major cleanout coming and that will create new opportunities. Hardwick will be joined by a slew of new assistants very soon and the group that is lucky enough to be retained will have a new lease on life.
Young coach, young list, enthusiasm, hard work, sounds like fun.
Like all Richmond coaches, all he has to do is win a few games of footy and do it often enough that it sticks. The last eleven have failed and I suppose we can add Jade Rawlings to that group and make it an even dozen. Lucky thirteen!
This is not rocket Science. Thats way too easy! Good luck. Maybe this time!

What Toto said.
A Process though got us Kane Johnson as Captain, and while he seemed roundly appreciated and respected, can't say he'll be remembered for much (unless kicking the wrong way a couple of times gets him in the footy 'remember whens'.
Damien Hardwick is not so much a courageous pick but the safest pick (from who was available). I'm just not sure that safety wins premierships - hope I'm wrong of course - but I'll take safe and competitive for while that's for sure
