Well at this stage Brad Arthur has achieved more and has a better win rate than Ciraldo, so 2024 is just a flash in the pan and you have succumbed to recency bias.
As for the trajectory of the Bulldogs, the coach is just a cog in the machine. It's all about Gould and his ability to secure funding.

Or maybe the smartarses are right and resources have nothing to do with it? Makes you wonder why Gould bothered.
Wrong.
Their squad is on paper one of the weakest in comp and most thought they'd finish bottom 6 again. Most laughed at their signings like Nsw cupmplayer Sexton amd a bunch of utilities and averageplayers like Mann, Salmon,Tracey. After two rnds 50% had them for spoon.
BA had a similar squad id say in 2014 and 2018 quality wise as the dogs. And where did those sides finish?
