FARRER League premier Temora will not rush its coaching appointment and will instead take time to ensure it gets the right man for the job.
Six weeks has passed since Temora claimed a third-straight Farrer League premiership and the Kangaroos are still on the hunt for someone to replace Mark Kruger in the top job.
Temora has interviewed a couple of high-profile premiership coaches only to miss out to Riverina and Hume League clubs.
Temora president Darryl Harpley explained the club will take as long as necessary to ensure it finds the best possible coach.
"We've interviewed a few and contacted quite a number of coaches but we're not rushing into it that's for sure," Harpley said.
"We want someone that can continue to develop the young players in our team and we don't see it as an urgent thing at this stage.
"We've seen over the last three years with the success of our club and Mark Kruger as coach showed us that.
"We want to step up another level with the coach but there is no guarantee we will get that coach but it's important we take the time to try and get him."
Temora has set the benchmark in the Farrer League in recent years with dominance on field as well as being a well run club off the field.
The three-straight grand final victories has resulted in a number of Temora's premiership players being targeted by clubs both inside and outside the area.
Sam Fisher and Brad Moye have already joined Farrer League neighbours Northern Jets, while a number of other key players are being heavily pursued.
Harpley is confident of keeping the club's list together and has consulted with the playing list regularly as they chase a well-credentialed coach.
"Signing a coach makes it easier," he said.
"But the players should have confidence in that we listened to them three years ago and got someone in...the players should be able to put their trust in us that we will go out and find the right person for the job."
Harpley is confident the future is bright for Temora.
"(The coaching job) should be attractive with how strong our junior base is," he said.
"We're still a young team, our premiership teams from the last three years would have an average age of about 21 and a half.
"It's a young group that will continue to develop."
