Yuck! They were indeed dark days at Nwd.
Bit like the Keane, Higgins, Davies, Trigg days...
Anyhoo, back to topic. I wish Ken well in his newly simplified life...and expect that somewhat predictably North will re-find its mojo just because there's been a change of coach.

The last coach to leave Sturt on his own terms was Oatey, back in 82'.
Bassett?
Made a nice contrast with Trevor Hill, Macca and Rocky.
Ah, whatever happened to those good old days?
Don't forget Dale Lewis in 2005, as well...

Josh Francou, our coach before McGregor
How's your club's track record when it comes to coaches

You Blues fans are vicious...I'd type a list of your dud coaches but I've only got 38 minutes left of my lunch hour....

On the other hand. It wasn't till Oatey got to a real club did he have his greatest success.

No coach can turn it around so quick. McGregor left the club in a mess, will take awhile to get them back on track

The football trend is for a new coach to be accompanied by some degree of success and revelation. They were down by 14.13 to 1.2 at 3/4 time and ultimately lost by over a ton. Results were never that bad under Ken. They played Centrals FFS who are clearly the seventh best team. Today's effort is their worst of the season for mine by a mile.
