So a coach has nothing to do with the skill level of his team?

Coach & list managers are both culpable for that.
Exactly!

When you're named as head coach, aren't you accountable for everyone?
That's WHY you're the HEAD coach.
So you try and share the blame around, ok that's fine.
Ultimately it's Hardwicks job to know all and instruct all.
They should be acting in accordance with his instructions.
Like I said, get rid of he whole panel.

Anyone see him on the coaches round table on Fox Footy? At one stage he brought up how he was criticised for not moving Cotchin forward in the EF and his reasoning was that we were getting killed in contested ball and Cotchin was our best contested plater and if he'd moved him out of the midfield we would've lost the c/p count by 50 instead of 30. FFS Cotchin had 9 stuffing possessions.

This to me underlines is his single biggest problem....he relies far too heavily on some stats while ignoring others and he fears making moves during matches because they might fail even more...in other words he'll too often stick something that actually is failing right in front of him rather than risk a potentially worse failure that hasn't even happened yet and still might actually succeed...

To paraphrase Ian Chappell - he's not prepared to lose a game by more in order to try to win it.

All fair points.

Interesting. I'm not 100% sold but it seems makes sense.

Bolts is not exactly a first game coach. Not far off it though.

Spot on, he also mentioned about players setting up for a turnover when we have the ball.... tipping that has an impact on blunting our attack
