It's surprising no-one has mentioned the possibility of Barry Mitchell being appointed, as he has done well with the Bullants over the last three years. I don't know much about Harvey, but I would've thought Mitchell would have similar claims to the role should Pagan depart.
Having said all that, it's hard to imagine Pagan going unless a benefactor is going to stump up $1.5 million, or Pagan is so loyal to his assistants, and resigns because they've been given the flick.
Mitchells the man I want too, but if your going to get a new coach, you go through a process, one of them is interviewing a num,ber of candidates. Mark Harvey being on of them. Mitchell's my choice but I'm happy with the idea of Mark Harvey. I've got no bias against the Bombers like some others on here, just want th best person available.
When discussing who might be the next coach in waiting at Carlton, Caro on White Line Fever the other week scoffed when Mitchells name was raised which I thought showed a bit of ignorance. She seemed surprised that his name would even be associated with a senior coaching job. Caro lost points with me when she did that.
Mitchell knows all the kids' strengths & weaknesses and has the guts to throw them around and give them the opportunity to perform in different roles. Seems very imaginative and obviously gets 100% efforts from his squad.
