BEST COACH ? WHY? WHAT RECORD,LEAGUE?

[faxuwill]

ok! a lot visit but no comment?Kevin sheedy. longevity in coaching is as rare as rocking horse shit,his passion for the game and great wisdom and humour is unserpast. PS, KS and i still converse on a regular basis and still learning things from him.

most successful coach ever is jack cahill. hands down winner

[faxuwill]

not even close, jack cahills record in the afl?

[devilsadvocate]

Pretty sure Choco's % winning record is better than Sheeds.

choco was assistant coach to k sheedy,at leased he a the sense to be taught by the master and we shall see what chocos`s doing in 20 years?

Sheedy has been around for a long time. You have to take your hat off to him. Hes beeen through a few rebuilding stages and seems to have a few tricks left yet. Dont think a coach will last that long again.

Leigh Matthews isnt bad either mind you.

John Cahill done well (SANFL)

mark williams coached the bays to a gf i think.
jack cahill has an outstanding record
sheedy coached vfl and afl. is his vfl record different to his afl record? that depends on opinion
i suppose all of the above coaches can smile. micky mouse'neil craig' cant though.

[faxuwill]

ks,jc are coaches that have the ability to treat players as individuals but at the same time mould them into very tight competitive teams. k sheedy,j cahil, lee Mathews were extremely talented and extremely hard footballers which is rare in todays game.

Somebody correct me here as its more a question than an answer but what about Malcolm Blight - less games coaching but big returns?

[tigertalk]

Blight would have to be up there for sure, and as you said not many games for good returns. Was very unlucky at Geelong in 2 GF losses and obviously taking the cookies back to back with Adelaide. Its a shame the Saints shit all over him.

Heres a few that werent so good.

Judge (haw)
