Outside of his first season, with one of the greatest players of all time, he's never made the top 4.
If you take away that first season his win percentage is 52%. That's decidedly average.
3rd - once
6th - once
7th - once
8th - twice
12 - once
Mean = 8.8
Take out the two outliers and you get an average of 7.25
Teams in the 6-10 bracket are the average teams, and he's almost always there.
If you want to be very precise he's a slightly above average coach. Very slightly.
How do you finish 12th with a club that can pay more than any other for their playing group via 3rd party deals? 7 day turnarounds every week, the best facilities, best home ground advantage.....what more do you need? And why does anyone think he will do better with us than he did with Brisbane? Our results have been smack bang on his average from Brisbane, we play the same footy as they did even but we don't have all those advantages.
