disagree with this. and yeah i can hear the nay sayers now. geez claw disagrees with the club againwhat a surprise.

while a fan of hardwick i think this extension premature.
if  next yr they can  show this yr was no fluke and we even win a final  then give him another 2 or 3 yrs. lot of hanging hats on what id call just one   iffy finals appearance.

geez they want to hope we make finals again or a lot of people are going to have egg on their faces.
there is no excuses next yr none at all get the job done or get out.

If Hardwick sees through this new contract until the end of 2016 then he'll become our third longest serving senior coach.

Yeah, I kinda agree with ya.
But as always the coach always gets the blame.
I'm not sure as to how much control the senior coach has in the way of employing development coaches, but I would say that the board would have a lot of input into this.
Now what goes on behind closed doors, will obviously stay there, so we will never know if a coach has said something like, no the a particular development coach or not. But if the board want that particular person, then that's what may probably happen, and the senior coach may not have a choice. That's just an example of course.

I know that we would all like to think that everybody sits down as a combined group and agrees with all decisions together and all is wonderful when it comes down to the running of a football club. I doubt that it would be all rosy and wonderful at all times.

My point is, it shouldn't be solely the senior coach who must take the full wrap (yeah i know they always do take the wrap), I know development coaches get replaced and things like that as well.
What should happen, employ specialty development coaches for each and every player. Of course the senior coach oversees all that goes on. But the devel coaches would know their own player extremely well and get the utmost out of each player at an individual level.
Then of course there's the team as a whole. That's what the senior coach should solely focus on and get right, 100% right.

I hope all that made sense (I know it does in my noggin).
