The finals win/loss record argument always amuses me.
If you make finals, at best you are likely to be 1-1, or 0-1, or 2-1 if you are lucky. Only winning the flag can you be 3-0 or 3-1 in finals.
So odds are most coaches would either have break even or losing finals records even though their regular season win/loss % would be well above 50%

On its own with no context … 100% agree.

Preliminary Finals: 0-4, so nearly half of all finals loses.
Grand Finals: 0
Premierships: 0

This is from a club who announced that they would win 3 flags in 5 years, granted that the blame for that ridiculous boast shouldn’t be pinned on the coach.

It’s also not his fault that the club kept reappointing him … who in their right mind would quit a job that they love and are handsomely remunerated.
