 Although Worrall was the first person to really take on the full role of a coach, he was never actually known by that title, as officially he was the Club's Secretary-Manager.Many histories of the Collingwood Football Club suggest that Jock McHale was that club's first coach, appointed in 1914.Until 2015, McHale took his place in the record books as the VFL's longest serving coach, coaching 714 games (he retired in 1949) and he is also one of the most successful, helping Collingwood to eight Premierships.
