Message: [QUOTE="Renegade, post: 3075080, member: 1928"] A DoF only works when the coach understands that his job is to coach and manage the team - everything else is done by the DoF. That includes recruitment and so on. The DoF oversees the long term project/ethos of the club and implements a system wherein any of the parts are interchangeable - coach, assistants, development officers, scouts and players - can all be moved on/poached by others and the system remains true. All players understand what their role is, all coaches and staff are all consistently striving towards one goal and there's a common ground that everyone from the groundsmen to the ceo understands to a T. So, given the coach is going to have very little responsibility outside of coaching, you can see why not many would sign up to this scenario as most want to be able to build their own roster. I think an approach like this is more likely to succeed when you've got an old boy in the role that understands the club and is willing to be part of that structure to help the club succeed, not themselves personally. When you've got that network in place, you can begin to rely and outsource responsibilities to others because you know everyone's going to get judged on their criteria solely. [/QUOTE]
