They’ve done a terrible job so far
Agree on longevity - I think about a decade is long enough and we are maybe seeing signs of that with Dimma now.
If Clarkson was offered a job by another club they'd negotiate a release without a payout I'd think.
And it's started already, heard/read that’s there’s “frosty” relations between Mitchell and Clarkson, that Mitchell didn’t even mention Clarkson in yesterday’s press conference. Hawthorn and Clarkson will have to endure this sort of speculation for the next 15 months. Who’d want that.
Clarkson (and Hawthorn obviously) haven’t won a final since their 2015 GF win. 6 years now.
lol at Carlton. do they ever go through a thorough process when looking for a coach? They're either poaching an experienced coach (pagan, malthouse) or appoint someone within / caretaker coach (ratten, teague).
Agree on the need to plan ahead which is what a succession plan.
I guess I just struggle with the concept that you have a master coach still there pulling the string with the anointed one there as well. It’s the overlap bit I struggle with - there are plenty of assistants who do their apprenticeship elsewhere and then when they are ready you hand them the keys.
Are they saying Clarkson still has one year left in him or Mitchell is one year short of training. Corporates do the understudy bit but I haven’t seen many examples where they sign a contract that guarantees they take over in 12 months - normally they are in line but without the guarantees.
That's true but they did win 16-17 H&A games in 2016 and finished top 4 so they had a decent year
Indeed, I was just pointing out that he and Hawthorn haven’t won a final in the last 6 seasons. I think that’s gone under the radar a bit.
let's hope it's similar to Malthouse/Buckley exchange. Collingwood worse for ware and Carlton going nowhere.
Basically, Hawthorn just sacked Clarkson, but made it look like it's a planned transition.
Of course it's signalled to Clarko he's done, so if he wants to go get another job, he walks out on his contract, not the other way around.
It's a great stage managed approach to not having to do a Sheedy - Knights transition. The public think it's got the best wishes of the outgoing coach as he's been the mentor. Just great PR for the club, and the new coach.

No coach could take that list to the finals in that period. Huge drop off in spread of talent, happens when you win 4 flags & trade out high picks for damaged goods (see Wingard, O'Meara, possibly Mitchell).
Practically no one likes Sam Mitchell. Though his jab gesture against Bombers was humourous. And his disdain for Jabba Watson after winning the Brownlow also raised a smile.
