Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[RussellEbertHandball]

Ken and his supporter's theme song. Should be played as he walks across the ground to the box.

 

[Sheeds]

So Hinkley has outlasted Simpson, who has a premiership and two GF appearances

Yeah but Kenny has a 60% overall winning percentage which is more important than Premierships, GF appearances and final wins. Everyone knows that.

To add insult to injury, Jarrod Schofield could soon be West Coast’s caretaker, yet another 2004 Premiership player who could’ve replaced Hinkley by now

And Simpson wasn't even coaching when Kenny began coaching.

 

[MrMeaner]

I think you are missing the important factor here: Hinkley wants the job.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Seriously good teams don't have a 127 point differential (79 point loss v 48 point win) within 2 weeks of each other. Our best is good, but our worst is beyond bad - nobody can take us seriously until the gap closes considerably.

I understand that our gap between our best and worst is terrible at the moment, but thats just begging for a check.

What about within 1 week?

I mean, this is all in a single year. And I think we were a seriously good team that year.

And this is without considering that pesky 200 point turn around over 1 week when we were a Grand Finalist...

 

[scotty13]

****! You just know the that West Coast will win a flag before us with their new coach... but... like... who can we get that is better than Kenny... there is no one out there

 

[KrispyKremeMullanikka]

Crazy to think that Hinkley when he gets sacked is also entitled to long service leave.

 

[Schulzenfest]

We might be thinking about this the wrong way. "Who you gonna get?" Well, there's a coach with two GF's and one premiership under his belt available, who up until a few years ago had a better winning record at Adelaide Oval than anyone.

 

[Progressive Aggresion]

More grand final coaches have been sacked since Ken arrived than the amount of actual finals Ken has won...

Dark times for the club

Wouldn't mind going after Simpson.

 

[philreich]

Hey Ken - are you interested in a move to Perth?

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

When we eventually move on from Hinkley, I'd love to see Port have an extraordinary first year under the new coach, to prove to the Three Stooges (Cornes, Whateley and Wilson) among others that we should have got rid of him sooner. Then again, the media will more than likely credit Ken for doing all the groundwork.

Ken will give out the medals and the trophy..

Then Connor will say ..

Kenny we love you

 

[PowerLil]

I think you are missing the important factor here: Hinkley wants the job.

And he cares.

 

[SonOfKek]

What will become of Schofield? Is he going to take the reins?

Simpson, Cameron, Pyke, Buckley, Lyon?

[johnnysix]

I love that they mutually agreed to part ways... What's the alternative?

"We think it's time to move on. We'd like to part ways"....

 

[Sheeds]

It is an unfortunate situation but if Kane feels Ken is still the perfect fit for West Coast then we have to let Ken move on. It is only fair.

 

[Progressive Aggresion]

Simpson, Cameron, Pyke, Buckley, Lyon?

Clarko & Dimma didn't "technically" get sacked but it was pretty clear the administration at each of those clubs were eager to move on.

 

[Bump Bailey]

For the rest of the year probably yes, but Dean Cox would be $1.08 to get the full-time gig next season.

 

[PAFC66]

I can't believe he's gone before ken LOL

 

[PAFC66]

Nah Knights lol

 

[manureid]

Jesus. Another Premiership coach who has spent less time in the job goes before him. God this football club sucks.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I'm confident that Josh Carr will be coach come round 1 next year. I'm also confident that it's his intention to reset the club culture to be more in line with the pre-Hinkley Port Adelaide. Watch this space.

You don't mind me asking where you have gotten this confidence from for these two very interesting pieces of speculation?

 

[Janey]

Schofield might come back to Port next year since Ken will be gone. Anyone know if he and Josh would work well together?
