Heard the back end of Dome on RS with Darcy and Goran not long ago. I get the impression that they'll be hiring one of the Australians with A League coaching experience. Dome admitted they got DK wrong and the lesson they learned was the importance of having someone that knew Australian players, A League etc. He wasn't totally convincing to me, still too much spin - reminded me of a car salesman. Personally I don't know if they've learned the real lesson at all - they can't pick a coach full stop, let alone minding where they are from....
But they didn't just hire DK did they? Rado was obviously a big part of the initial coaching appointment and he clearly knows Australian players well. While they got DK's personality wrong, I personally think they attempted to make the right decision.
I meant more that hiring an International coach alongside an experienced Australian assistant is a good approach. While Merrick wasn't the 'right coach' for the Nix he was still a good appointment. Whatever is wrong with the Nix seems to mean even the most experienced of football administrators may have trouble finding the 'right one', which I guess is a coach who can actually get the best out of the squad over a consistent multi-season time-frame.
