Glamorgan are back on the coaching hunt for the fourth time in five years after Richard Dawson left the county to join England.
Glamorgan are back at square one. Richard Dawson has left the Welsh county to take up a position with the England setup, and the club must now find its fourth head coach in just five years.
For a county trying to build something lasting, that kind of turnover is a headache. Each new appointment brings a fresh voice, new methods and a reset of expectations, and that makes long-term planning tough for players and staff alike.
Dawson's move shows how highly he is rated in the English game. International set-ups are always on the lookout for coaches with a strong track record, and county cricket is often where they find them. The price is paid by the clubs who lose them.
Now the pressure is on Glamorgan's hierarchy to get the next appointment right. Finding someone who can bring stability as well as results will be the priority, because another short stay would only deepen the sense of a revolving door in Cardiff.
