Would have to say it would be a big risk for a starting out coach trying to establish their coaching career at the RFC.

You have to go back a while to find an ex RFC coach who's coaching career has gone onto bigger and better things or has been allowed to retire gracefully and with good rep after the RFC train ride has finished.

Give the job to an experienced coach ie Sheeds, Pagan, or Matthews on a two year contract.

Offer Buckley and Hird assistant jobs.

John Northey left richmond with his rep intact.......Anyhow I would think Bucks would have too much to loose if he took the Richmond gig.

I agree but I would go as far to say (an I posted this on another thread) I don't think Buckley would have the "courage" to take on Richmond simply because as you say mat073 he would have so much to lose

Toughest gig in town because of who we are, would massive take courage

Rewards would be amazing but I just reckon as a rookie coach you'd need incredible guts to take it on because your coaching reputation would be shot if you failed

And let's not forget how qucikly some supporters turn  ;D

re: Hardwick. what makes you so sure about that??

If that is the case i hope they decline our offer and miss the boat completely. Its not as if there are so many opportunities to coach out there

Matthews as coach for sure. Eff the first time coach scenario off. No one earns more respect than a Matthews or Sheedy. Two yr contract with, as someone else said Buckley or Hird assistant to take over then. :thumbsup

I'm not sure I like someone with a name I can't pronounce agreeing with me.

The question may be 'would he come to Tigerland' but perhaps it should be 'do we want him!' Judged on his commentary on how great Rocker (sp?) is for the team and similiar comments, I wouldn't want him at the club. He is far too Collingwood centric and would only be a watered down version of Malthouse at best. Best to go with someone who has had at least some experience at a range of clubs if possible.

The only reason I would want him is to upset Cwood fans. But like WP says I don't think he would have the courage to coach us.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

this is why i think Chocco is a good chance. Looks to have the guts and it might be an appealing challenge for him if he can't do any more with Port. Hinkely appealing also. I just hope it's not one of the old crew.
