Former AFL coach Michael Voss has no intentions to return to the hot seat.
Voss departed Carlton in May, which was his second stint as senior coach.
“No, I don't have (an appetite to return to coaching)," Voss said on Fox Footy.
“When I came into this job and started coaching Carlton, I thought this would be my last go at it. First of all, because it's my second go at it, and I sort of thought, well, I went to Port Adelaide, seven years, spending some time there, learning a craft under Ken Hinkley, and I had the most enjoyable time with Ken being a great mentor.
“You get to sort of reset yourself as a coach, learn a hell of a lot more from another system and another place. And then you get another go at it, and it hasn't come exactly the way we want it, so now we move on.
“Now there's another journey ahead. I don't know what that is, but I'll spend the night here with you lot (at Fox Footy) and then see where it goes.”
Voss' replacement, Josh Fraser, has had an unblemished start to his campaign as caretaker, notching up five wins in a row.
The former Blues coach couldn't help but think Fraser must be included in the process, although given the club's history with promoting interim coaches, are believed to be leaning another way, while Fraser ruled himself out of the position.
“There's more time within the season, clearly, so let's see where that goes from there, but you'd have to say that right now you would think he'd be at least part of that process,” Voss explained.
“From what you can tell, and I am literally on the other side right now, so I know nothing of what's going on, they do seem determined to go through that process, whatever that looks like. And I'm sure they'll find the very best candidate.
“Whether Josh is part of that, I would've thought the results would determine whether he's part of that or not.”
But has Voss found it hard to watch Carlton's success?
“It's been different, because as a coach, when you step away mid-season, you're still almost emotionally involved without being there. And having zero control over what's actually happening," he explained.
"It's difficult to see a team evolve as they have, when you feel like you've had some influence over it, but then you're not there to share in the spoils.
“They've clearly done a great job - Josh has done a great job leading it, the leaders have stood up, if you look across the board, they're sharing the load a hell of a lot more than they have, and they've been able to turn the results around. So they've given themselves a great opportunity to be able to finish off the year really strongly.”
The Blues are tipped to extend their winning streak to seven, with clashes against West Coast and Richmond to come.
Carlton is also in shock contention for the Wildcard Round, and they don't leave Victoria for the remainder of the home-and-away season.
