6 years ago I would have said Dymock. But like others have said 6 years under Hasler would take effect. Hasler loves his video sessions and his stats.
We need a hard trainer and someone to get some mungrel back into the team. Not entirely sold on pay but he is one person that I think players would respect (like Arthur).
Holebrook is another untried candidate with good credentials. And mick potter is another with bulldogs history and the only thing he did wrong (same as bah) was sign up for a dysfunctional club with a board at war. Every coach for the last 5 years at the tigers has been sacked. So you can't judge potter off that.
We will need a coach to scout out the best juniors in the land and get them into
Our system at 16-17 (like sonny bill, asotasi, mason, anasta, klemmer, Jackson, barba etc). All our superstars in the last 15 years have been bred to some degree (we have never really recruited big names).
We will need a coach to clean up the roster and start fresh. If it means missing the semis for a year or 2 but we will get a young team and build for something I'm sure us fans will be forgiving.
Castles is so obsessed with making the top 8 she is forgetting that winning should be a goal too (she was quoted as saying on field performances is only 1/3 of the job) which is true. But you would never hear bullfrog say winning is only part of what we stand for.
We can rebuild from here and be a force again very quickly. My concern is the coach and the board (in particular dib and castles). They can ruin our development for the next 5-10 years if they continue leading us down this path and parading themselves to the media like they are heros.
