Carlton football director Chris Judd has delivered a frank assessment of the club's criteria for their future coach, cutting down hopes that caretaker coach David Teague might fill the role.

“We want an experienced coach that can take us to the next level,” Judd said on Nine's Footy Classified.

“(Teague) is getting some really good coaching experience now. He’s in effect coached his own team, but that’s not really the same as being an actual senior coach of a football team with the pressure that comes with that.”

Teague stepped into the role after Brendon Bolton was sacked in June following the Blues' dismal start to the season, clocking only a single win in the first 11 rounds.
