'It doesn’t feel right': Simpson says Carlton coaching job is not for him Adam Simpson's decision to rule himself out of contention for the Carlton coaching job is a significant development in the AFL.
His reluctance to put his hand up for the role suggests that the Blues' situation is far more complex and sensitive than initially meets the eye. Simpson's comments on Fox Footy were refreshingly candid.
He said he wouldn't pursue the coaching job due to a sense of propriety and respect for the current coaching staff, as well as his own role as a mentor within the club.
