If we don't land on schofield for the head role, I hope we do everything possible to retain him.

Been very impressed by Schofield so far, if the effort is there on game day for the rest of the year I would be keen to see him get the contract short of another candidate getting a standing ovation for his interview.

Needs some good efforts in away games to round off his job application. Performances like the one against St Kilda may bring him right back to the pack.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Very impressive in the way he (Schofield) handled that press conference. Backing his players in and plenty of positives whilst also expecting more from the group.

He has the confidence and demeanour of a senior coach, someone who demands respect and attention because he's in the room and not because of his job title.

Might sound silly, but I think this aspect is very important to being successful in the role. Doesn't matter if you're a tactical genius, you need to be able to sell the game plan to the players.

’s name came up here somewhere.

He wasn’t going to have his contract renewed at Tiges - departed immediately.

Tigers make unusual coaching call as Teague walks out — Courier Mail

With no future at Richmond, assistant coach David Teague and the club have decided to part ways mid-season. But who steps up to take his place with four rounds left?

isn’t head coach material but he’s a solid assistant.

Thought he’d be a possible upgrade on Webster as backline coach but heard Tom Morris say part of his departure from Richmond was due to him wanting to be more involved on offense. So maybe a candidate to replace Knights

Teague?

Teague said he's leaving to persue other opportunities outside of football.

He definitely left the door open to another coaching gig: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/te...s/news-story/4c0b6242a7533e50705c46ae4173af4d

 

[Chris_6678]

Gave the Schoey presser a listen. Easily one of the best ive heard and now leaning to him being coach. We would still need a big clean out of the assistants though to push forward a new voice.

 

[Dazzler9]

Paul Roos in a succession plan role is on the table, right?

 

[TOA.]

A pretty big benefit of Schofield is that he has been at the club for a couple of years so he can hit the ground running with changes that he wants to make (and probably been thinking about for a couple of years), whether it be game plan, playing list or footy admin side of things. Any other new coach will probably need at least a year to get to know the playing group before they can really start to implement changes into game plans and staff changes. Schofield effectively gives us a 1/2 year head start, which I like given we are such a mess. If we were a club the could rise quickly, and with more establish core of good players, then a new coach could probably sub-in straight away but that is not us. Schofield can at least hit the ground running and really try and develop what we have straight away.

If he is elevated to the Senior role and Knights moves on as predicted then that 2 out of 3 lines that need to be replaced already, pretty much a clean out automatically.

If Schofield was to get it. He should be on 1 year contracts to avoid the sugar hit scenario. It's not as if he is going to be poached and west coast can easily recruit someone else.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

I find the constant threat of being sacked really motivates people to plan to hang around and build something meaningful and lasting.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

One year deal for a senior coach?

Speculation will start day one. Crazy.

 

[random260]

Fine two years with the second year depending on results. That's how Jarrod Schofield contract hopefully with be structured.

But add in extra guarantees regardless of his senior coach performance he can be out assistance for five years or something like that

Geez that's a fine way to put confidence into the 19-21 yo playing group. Stable

Not gonna lie I would be pretty embarrassed if I was a fully functioning adult human and thought this was how contracts work in the AFL coaching world.

Turn it up.

 

[Keys]

Tell me, how does being on a 1 year contract encourage a coach to prioritise development over selecting a more experienced side to chase wins

And isn’t the latter a large part of why Simpson was eventually moved on

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

How about we suggest that, instead of getting a salary, he pays the club for the privilege of being senior coach?

How about we give him a maximum number of losses (say 10) and once he hits that, he’s out on his arse?

How about he gets to be senior coach, but on non-match days he has to help train Auzzie the Eagle by putting carrion on his balls and running around the middle of Optus?

All terrible working conditions that would immediately turn off any prospective applicant. Just like everything you’ve suggested.

 

[random260]

If Jarrod is happy to interm coach for 7 rounds. He should be happy to interm for another 24 rounds next year.

It's not difficult we are dealing with in-house appointment rules. Transitional rules and norms can bent to suit this scenario.

Everyone is thinking we are playing in the same sandpit as if we were looking for a coach in external market. It's an in-house appointment/promotion FFS

This isnt some crappy Government pen pusher job in a dated department that nobody cares about. 1. Schofield wouldnt accept it. 2. It would create way too much unnecessary pressure on him and the playing group.

Or they keep to the actual mandate. Simpson stopped playing the kids as he was friends with the "credits in the bank" bunch. He had no incentive to keep to the mandate as he wanted to get paid out in the end
