Coach Adam Simpson Megathread est. 2017 - Staying for 2024, Lyon’s Cryin’

[WestCoast05]

So uh...

Chase Hardwick for next season?
Make him an offer he can't refuse?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

If the Board was united behind Nisbett and thought he was the right man then why would they nominate an end date to his tenure at all? They certainly were not kean to put any kind of timeframe on it before this weekend. And if they were united in thinking Nisbett needed to go then they would sack him now. And if they were united in being unsure of what to do they could just not make a decision at the present moment and have another meeting to discuss it at seasons end.

But they have done none of the above. Instead they have decided that he needs to go and definately won't be getting another contract, but at the same time they don't want to make the change for another 18 months. It reeks of a middle of the road option that was chosen as a compromise option despite not making much sense.

And the fact that it was immediately leaked to the media makes it clear that not everybody on the Board is a Nisbett supporter. The timing of the leak is humiliating for Nisbett. It looks like the decision was a reaction to recent results, which i have no doubt it was but Nisbett doesn't want it to look like that. It makes it look like a sacking with a long fuse on it. A person in the CEO chair would rather it be kept quiet for a month and then announced at a presser, after all the current anger and emotion have died down, and be presented as a dignified and universally agreed handing over of the baton and not a punishment for poor results. People in C suites never want to look like they were sacked or let go for performance reasons. They want their departure to look like it was their choice.

And what makes you think they’re not united behind not renewing him?

And what makes you think a board member leaked it?

Could you explain your meme, young man?

Hardwick got the boot.
Simmo no matter how bad we go will never get sacked.

End of an era: Nisbett to depart Eagles CEO role next year

West Coast chief executive Trevor Nisbett’s long-term tenure with the club will end after next season, sources have told The West Australian.

thewest.com.au

"sources have told The West Australian" ?

The bullshit is so thick, I can smell it from across the Nullarbor.

More likely, the West decided to make some shit up in order to tap into the fan's anger, and get a few cheap clicks. At best they might have got some quotes from the bootstuder.

Not sure why it has to take so long

Another eighteen months of disaster heaped upon disaster.

The stink is so bad and still he won’t go.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Hardwick got the boot.

You understand the difference between getting the boot and quitting, right?

In what world do you think Richmond orchestrated this?

Hardwick is a crap coach.
Thank you I'll see myself out.
Wooooooo!!!!!!

Simmo stays forever baby.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Hardwick is a crap coach.

Wooooooo!!!!!!

Now I’m even more confused than before about where you’re coming from.

Certainly possible in this one.

 

[DigUpStupid]

Inb4 Ben Wyatt is mooted as the heir apparent.

Former politician so he'd be well suited to the spin.

It's Monday

I just wanted to confuse you for no reason except confusing you.

Did it work?

Wyatt from all reports is a great negotiator and leader the club would be in good hands.

 

[Deplorable trumpster]

And what makes you think they’re not united behind not renewing him?

And what makes you think a board member leaked it?

Why wouldn't they just replace him now then if they are united in thinking he is not the right man for the job? Why give him another 18 months?

Think about how bizarre it is. Imagine you own a business and employ a somebody to run it for you. And they want to continue in that job because they think they are good at it. Then you make a decision that that person has to leave that job working for you 18 months from now. They won't get another contract or have their employment extended beyond then no matter what. And you tell the person that too. Why would you do that? If they are crap then you would sack them now. If they are good you would not be thinking about sacking them at all. And if you unsure then you would wait and see and keep evaluating. You wouldn't announce you are going to sack them 18 months from now. That is the most illogical of all 4 options. It is a compromise option.

Let's have a look at the bottom of the ladder last year and this year and see what the teams have done with their coaches:

2022:
15th - Essendon: Coach gone
16th - GWS: Coach gone
17th - West Coast: Coach still around
18th - North: Coach gone

2023 Current:
14th - Richmond: Coach gone
15th - GWS: Coach just started
16th - Hawthorn: Coaches 2nd year
17th - North: Coach just started
18th - West Coast: Coach still around

It really is a disgrace

 

[BrotherDodge]

Never thought I'd say this, but I hope Simpson can emulate the quiet dignity of Damian Hardwick.

Departs when he’s eligible to access his super. Hardly surprising that a bloke going on 68 as at the end of 2024 isn’t going to continue working.

He’ll probably weasel his way into maintaining his spot on the board to make sure no one sacks Toddy.

It is a compromise option.

Going by the Daniels interview, if this 18 months story is true, then it makes perfect sense. In the interview Nisbett was touted as the right man for the job regardless of his long tenure. But sensing a baying for blood in the general public domain, they compromise and offer the promise of a scalp, to be delivered in 18 months, to appease the masses now, knowing that a season and a half more of Nisbett will go a long way to helping the club transition toward a hopefully brighter future and a new CEO...(and take the heat off the coach a little, who stays)

The board just accepting these results demonstrates everything that's wrong with this club starts from the top.

All sons need to be moved on at seasons end. Eagles have always been very secretive over the employees and it's because nepotism is rampant.

Certainly helps the argument when you use a neutral word like “gone” rather than sacked.

 

[stinger05]

Only thing this club cares about is the bottom dollar, we all know this.

I gave up years ago thinking it was a footy club that cares about it members. Profit equals success.

 

[Mulldogg]

Amongst all this talk of Simmo and Nesbitt there is one man who is avoiding all of the media glare and fan’s ire.

Rohan “The Pieman” O’Brien.

He’s presiding over this shitshow of a list; both from a drafting and player retention perspective given his dual recruiting/list manager role.
