Coach Coach for 2025

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

The body isnt even cold yet, BUT we need to get acting on this immediately. We should be sounding out candidates tomorrow and getting offers in before other clubs enter the fray

For me its down to 3.

I know everyone keeps saying Cox but think he has a clear path to coaching Sydney in the near future and he may actually say no. Out of the remaining candidates id go with Ashley Hansen

. Has the coaching accolades on his resume + will be the most keen. His assistants should just 100% be his decision. Would be wary of hiring in a experienced assistant. Think he doesnt need it

 

[LemmingMaster]

Ash Hansen is controlling our gameday coaching and seems to be doing a solid job.

Whoever takes the role has to accept a number of years of rebuilding, so do the fans.

 

[Cursedsword02]

For me its down to 3.

Ashley Hansen
Jaymie Graham
Dean Cox

You literally just pulled a Caro and named three former players.

Anyway, a few outsider names I'd like to see considered:
Daniel Giansiracusa (Essendon midfield coach, my favorite choice)
James Rahilly (Geelong assistant; former Adelaide fwds coach)
Corey Enright (St Kilda backline coach)

 

[Smotie2]

I was firmly in the camp of getting big cox but now I think Hansen would do a good job also.
Don't know much about jamye Graham.

Just a coincidence mainly those are the 3 most qualified assistants at this point. Corey Enright is a good shout also though

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Josh Carr?

Wouldnt touch anything to do with Port with a ten foot pole at this point

 

[Seadog]

Pyke will know if Cox is senior coach material. Will be an interesting watch.

 

[Progressive Aggresion]

Pardon the intrusion.

Are yous potentially considering Jarred Schofield an option for the senior job at all?

 

[squashface]

I think it was Duffield who raised an interesting sliding doors moment.

If Nisbett didn't step away last year with Pyke replacing him - would Don Pyke now be our next senior coach?

Would have been a decent chance imo.

 

[bzparkes]

Hansen for me.

Former premiership player but been away from the club since his playing days(not that it's particularly relevant) and has as good a coaching CV as any highly regarded assistant.

as options

 

[wce4premiership]

Mr. Nospmis

He comes from someplace far away which is good, he won't have attachments to the players and won't give games to his favourites.

I like the way Mr. Nospmis thinks.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Pardon the intrusion.

Are yous potentially considering Jarred Schofield an option for the senior job at all?

Im a better chance then Schofield

Im not a bad shout. Ill have Chesser off HBF in no time

 

[random260]

I hate to bring it up.

Pending successful interm but Jarrod Schofield has by far the best CV of the lot. He's a winner and everywhere he goes ends up being winners as well

3x wafl flag winner
1x Afl Flag winner (at a loser club port)
3x wafl flag winner as coach
Remarkable assistant coach record at other clubs.

If we want the best CV then it's Schofield by far. This new voice crap is akin to let's pick favourite son.

In saying that it does make sense to get a new voice but CV speaks for itself

 

[Ghossein]

I heard there's a coach that's won a premiership within the last decade that's just become available

is pretty highly rated too.

 

[Coasters7]

If it’s a promotion from within the current setup we riot. A bit iffy on former players too because it’d be nice to have some fresh ideas, but at least they came from a successful era and are part of relatively successful coaching operations elsewhere

 

[Progressive Aggresion]

Im a better chance then Schofield

Im not a bad shout. Ill have Chesser off HBF in no time

We will gladly take him back if you don't want him. We actually rated him quite highly in his time with us and would argue he helped Boak and Wines rejuvenate their careers, at least temporarily.

Doesn't look like he's helped much with you guys so far though.

 

[Deplorable trumpster]

We need a development and professionalism/standards oriented coach at this point in time. Elaborate gameplans can go on the backburner until we re - establish standards and a positive mentality, and coaches who want to do a quick and dirty Clayton's rebuild by trading out picks for 27 year old's need not apply.

 

[BrotherDodge]

Josh Carr?

I'm not one of those "just stop being woke and scream at the players!" guys, but I think a bastard like Josh Carr might actually do us some good right now.

 

[RookiePick]

Unless everything Schofield was putting up was getting shot down by Simpson i can't get on board with this thinking.

We need NEW voices. Coaches that owe the playing group nothing and will have no favourites (except Harleybae ofc)

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Whoever’s the best candidate. If that’s Cox or Hansen, fine. But let’s not get wedded to guys just because they’re ex-Eagles players.

 

[1Bally1]

Scott or Joel Selwood would go well and develop our young guns

as an option? He has an agreement with Port to start taking over from Hinkley from next year and to take over in his own right in 2026. And that timeline is likely to be accelerated and Hinkley better than a 50% chance of getting sacked at the end of this year. And Port would be a more attractive club to take over as coach than us. Carr is not an option.
