Boti: Time for 36ers coaches to go

In a perfect world, Brian Goorjan lands here.






There.






I said it.

Joey Wright would win us a title.

The "he'd bankrupt the club" rhetoric is just dumb.

If 'coach clauses' exist, they are pretty wothless mid-season out of the contract period. Can't think of any player who would cut their contract and not get paid for half a season because the coach is axed. That gives you half a year to impress them on how good life will be under the new coach.

Good to have you back CJ.

You know what, All of us at Knox know what you can do, all of the other SEABL clubs know what you can do, most of the ballers in Aus know what you can do, wildcats found out what you can do.
According to Marty and Mark you just couldn't do anything.How pathetic.

Joyce, Gleeson, Wright?

Actually I don't think I've seen you so opiniated on a coach Isaac, always thought you had towed the company line ;)

I don't get on and bash coaches as it is done on here to death, however I have to agree, with this line up we should not be a .500 team.

Who though? Smyth has had his time, Ninnis didn't work (although I don't think he really had the cattle) and now Clarke (who I didn't mind as a choice originally).

do we go a tried coach, or do the "Dunlap" thing and go to the College/U.S system? Hmmm.

Im sure you can work it out from my post ;)


With regards to players walking, I guess its not like they will all rush to follow Clarke - as I cant see him being in demand as a coach anywhere soon.

Dissapointing as I had high hopes for him and thought he would bring great results but as Boti says what he brings in knoweldge of the game and preparation is outwighed by his inlexibility on game day and also his disconnect from the fan base.

Agree with everything Boti wrote.

Wonder how the club will play this - thing we've jumped the shark, finally. At least we can thank Marty for that much.

Very well written article and more importantly it's spot on.

Seems 'there's 3 coaches would do it' - Nagy.
Empathy - of course when you're going out there watching training.

The Sixers were prepared to pull the trigger on Clarke at the end of last season but they couldnt get their preferred option over the line.

Then the Blaze fell over and that decision was made to look hasty but it also thew up some talented recruits that the club (and Clarke) were able to grab. The influx of talent helped Clarke's cause with renewed optimism about the teams chances, but now with such a talented lineup underperforming the great recruiting he was able to do between seasons is his #1 problem as the excuses for below par results have now pretty much run out

If the club were willing to move 6 months ago it cant be a money issue, so are the players all so loyal to Clarke that the club is scared to have the playing group offside?
