Why is Terry Wallace considered such a good coach?

[goswannie14]

Isn't he in the fourth year of a five year contract. That isn't really a "short" stint, is it?

He's coached Richmond for three years.

That's what I said didn't I?

A breakeven coaching record is not 'crap'.

I didn't say that. I just don't think he is as good as the media makes out, part of which is because he was part of the media, both when he was coaching Footscray and when he missed out on the Swans job.

BTW, the "inverse" comment was nothing more than pointing out it all depends on how you look at things (ie glass half full/half empty).

I don't think he's as good as the media make out either, but that still doesn't make him "crap", which is all that I've been saying.

We agree on that. Unfortunately it's the old thing of someone either being crap or good, there is no in between.

Plough is not liked at all.

Has there ever been a senior coach in the system as long as he has been who has NOT delivered a flag? Daniher is the only one I can think of.

I heard recently this morning that last week the PR people at Punt Road had promoted some AusKick one morning on the oval and Plough had it cancelled to preserve the precious turf (already a write off) insinuating the 35 kilo kids were going to cause untold damage to the surface.

Anyway, he's damned if he do and he's stuffed if he don't. Already Plough's best option is to tank 2008 for decent key position players, however another losing season and surely they HAVE to sack him for 2009.

Rodney Eade could also be one of them.

Dont like him , glad we never got him.
We would never of got what we did with Wallace at the helm.
Is he a good coach though ??
Dont know, Richmonds recruiting of players has been abysmal to say the least of recycled players and high draft picks.
Sure he would of had a role in that though Greg Miller is the culprit here.
