I think 2V is a good coach it still doesn't change the fact he was left a very good team in their prime.
Robinson couldn't get the 2013 premiers to the 2014 GF.
Bellamy couldn't get the 2012 premiers to the 2013 GF or any since.
Bennett couldn't get the 2010 premiers to the 2011 GF.
Hasler couldn't get the 2008 premiers to the 2009 GF or the next year after that.
Bennett couldn't get the 2006 premiers to the 2007 or 2008 GF before walking away.
Sheens couldn't get the 2005 premiers to the 2006 GF or any others before he was sacked.
Folkes couldn't get the 2004 premiers to the 2005 GF or any others before he was sacked.
Lang couldn't get the 2003 premiers to the 2004 GF or any others before he was sacked.
There is a pattern here. In the last 15yrs, only Toovey, Hasler and Ricky Stuart (who has also been accused of inheriting a great side) have been able to coach the premiers to another GF within 3yrs.
Keep that in mind when considering Toovey's coaching record and any supposed leg up.
As for this year, good luck ANYONE trying to get this rabble up.
