Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3171761, member: 9052"] To me a coaching director is redundant, as you say, but what would be important is a GM of football. It's hard to pinpoint where Nolan sits in the hierarchy. Does he report to the CEO? does he fall under the coach or parallel with them? This is where a GM of football would sit above the coach and recruitment, but below the CEO. It removes the CEO from micromanaging the football department whilst providing a GM for all things football related. Someone like Wayne was probably acting as a pseudo GM of football, but a rookie coach shouldn't have to deal with that... a GM of football has connections to source the best recruitment and retention, scouting and development, high performance, etc. I think that's too much scope for a rookie head coach to handle and instead they should be focussed on the 30 man squad (performance, tactics and coaching, squad retention, training, etc.) ... leave the other shit to someone else, whilst allowing the head coach to provide input as and where needed. If the coach wants a psychiatrist or whatever because it will improve the squad then he raises it with the GM to find one, including raising it with the CEO/Board for budget, etc. [/QUOTE]
