Assistant Coaches

Pfft, what would Clarkson no about a successful coaching environment? /s

The way we flick our coaches around from forward to back to midfield is absurd, in many profession other sports, like the NFL, assistant coaches specialise in a particular position and don’t have their professional development placed ahead of the team’s performance, we appear to rotate our coaches every year never letting them settle in.

For once. Same.

Prove it.

Roughy as a forwards coach would be handy:

Blake Caracella - Head Coach
Ben Rutten - Senior Assistant
Roughy - Forwards
Robert Harvey - Midfield
Matthew Scarlett - Defense
Garry Hocking - Stoppages
Cameron Smith - Culture and Leadership

Knows how to win, doesn’t like losing. We need more of this ingrained into our clubs culture.

There’s no need to call him names.

How long has Clarkson been at the Hawks? 14 years ? Thats what I call churn

I would not be surprised if Rutten moved into Harvey’s job, and Kelly is probably the one to go into Skipworths position. But that’s actually not the biggest problem imo.

The big question is who is going to come in and fix our dysfunctional, fragile and “easy to play against” game plan. First we outsourced our game plan from Neeld. Then Harding has taken up the poisoned chalice but imo its going nowhere. The Richmond seconds beat us. The 18th team, Sydney chock full of kids beat us.

We need a head coach who is the actual game plan architect. A coach with vision. When that happens, all the assistant coach dominoes will fall anyway.
