It was a long time coming, but Michael Voss' decision to leave Carlton has opened the door for many possibilities as the search begins for a new senior coach.

Names have already been linked to the Blues amid the turmoil at Ikon Park following a disappointing 18 months.

Pressure on Voss hit fever-pitch after a 1-8 start to the new season, including multiple second-half fadeouts.

Here are 10 names who could be a part of the Carlton conversation...

John Longmire

Could return to the coaching mix as an established premiership coach.

Longmire gave up the keys of Sydney at the end of 2024, but remained at the Swans in an off-field role.

Hasn't ruled out a return to coaching at some point, and is enjoying some media work.
