Why the hell not I say! Would need some heavy hitters wirth experience behind him though.
Regarding failing, lets be honest, we are in for some pain, the "window" is well and truly shut and the ole rebuild or something close to it is long overdue. So as long as the club understands this and keeps its expectations realistic, I cant see a problem.
You want more members, or more to the point lost members back, get harvs....
Players will play for him, that much is certain.

Subject to how many they've got to listen to they may indeed speak to him.SaintPav wrote:I highly doubt that he will even get an interview.
If only to hear his ideas for taking the team forward and to be able to give him feedback for future coaching applications.
If they've got the time they can afford a club legend that much.

How anyone can tell if he's right or not, no one knows until you give him a go.
Harv's will never do a Ross and turn his back on the club, in fact, if Harvs didn't think he was doing well or struggling, he would step aside.
If he wins us a flag, he would be called a god.
The only rep he'd loose if he couldn't coach, would be just that, he can't coach, he will always be remembered as a champ player for the club

Richmond would never sack Kevin Bartlett either.SaintPav wrote:Robert Harvey will never ever get sacked from St Kilda.Winmar7 wrote:I'm really scared at the prospect of Rob Harvey as our coach, if he fails and we sack him, god help us!!!
I've been wrong before but Harvs doesn't strike me as a senior coach. Takes a certain set of skills and I hope we don't go down that path.
Loved him as a player, but this is a different thing all together.

I don't think he should get the job , he maybe needs a bit more experience, however it is fantastic to see someone who bleeds red white & black come out and say he wants the job .
Would be nice if GT who says he loves the club yet most times i hear him speak he is bagging it , was positive about the goings on there.

By the same token, being a star player should hardly be a point against you. Look at the Collingwood assistants who are being handed jobs right now. They aren't terribly experienced. The only one of the new coaches who has a lot of experience is McCarthy.Winmar wrote:I love Harvs, but he's not the right man for the job. You don't need to be a star player to be a coach. Just look at the other appointments that have been made in recent days.
There's no reason a successful coach has to be a Malthouse style spitting venom or Eade smashing phones. My guess is most of those doubting Banger are doubting him because he comes across as a softly spoken guy and we're terrified of the Watson/Voss factor. On his coaching record, there's no reason to doubt him.
I think Harves could work. Pelchen's going to be making a lot of the crucial decisions. Follow the Hird model as much as possible and bring in quality people to work with Harvey. Maybe welcome Max back and see if he has any Collingwood secrets. See if Banger has any big, scary friends who want to help Roo with his kicking.
You never know. Ross was the coldest coach I've ever seen. It might actually be nice to have a coach that fans can connect with. We might even sell a few memberships.
Yeah nah pleasing positive

Harves will not be coaching us.
Perhaps if he was coaching with a director of coaching to help mentor him like Bomber Thompson is for James Hird at Essendon, maybe he could settle in.
But agreed with GT - great player, doesn't have the makings of a great coach.
