Assistant Coaches

Re: Assistant Coaches

Both Stevo and Morris are saying we?re into Leppitsch for a Director of Coaching or similar role. Not an assistant I guess?

Would be an awesome get I reckon!

Oh I'd saw rumours but nice to see Stevo running with it! And hasn't seen the kind of role either so that makes more sense given I think he's director of strategy or something at Collingwood.

Him, the GC guy I won't attempt to spell and Hale would be a decent set of pickups

Leppitsch would be a terrific get in that role and to be honest it should attract a lot of interest. I thought it might also interest Dew or Cameron.

Leppitsch v Bevo, man we should commission another year of the dog.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Just be surprised that Leppitsch would want to leave the pies, would be an unbelievable get.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Wow. Would be stoked to have Leppitsch involved. His role at the Pies was 'Head of Strategy' and their strategy has been spot on for the past two years.

Brendan Bolton is currently the Director of Coaching at Pies. If that's the role we have offered, then it is a promotion - so can see why it would be enticing.

How do we not have a similar structure in place? Not replacing Maple was nuts.

I mean look at the quality team announcements he brings.

Might be a bit of a pay rise too considering the Pies are also squeezing Brendan Bolton in under the soft cap along with Leppa.

Stevo:


Hearing Dogs well progressed on Leppitsch. Been talks. Would be director of coaching type role.

It would be a promotion for him

Re: Assistant Coaches

That would be a huge get for us if we got Leppa over the line.

Re: Assistant Coaches

The introductions if Leppa is hired:

Luke: My name is Luke, I’m head coach, I like surfing and throttling Damian Barrett at the 2015 Brownlow.

Justin: My name is Justin, I’m the director of coaching. I like to keep fit and being restrained by former teammates from throttling Damian Barrett at 2016 Grand Final drinks.

Luke: I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

You can leave on that high note BT! Gold.

Re: Assistant Coaches

With Leppitsch I am excited that he would bring us invaluable intel from one of the best teams in 2023. This would be immense on a strategy front (which was obviously his specialty), but also from a general cultural point of view.

Dunkley was berated for saying Brisbane work harder than us on the training track, suppose it’s true? We need someone from outside with runs on the board at the best team in the land keeping us accountable.

Leppitsch is savvy. He left Richmond after 2021. Wasn’t quite at the top of the peak but always best to leave an organisation at the top rather than on the way down.

Re: Assistant Coaches

TBH I'll be more happy if we get Lippitsch than if we had got Dew. The added bonus of being involved in successful systems is more appealing to me than being the head coach recently at a club that can't make finals. We already know how to not make finals.
