Not sure what evidence this is based on!
His resume and what people have said about him.
Who would you have ahead of him?
Who is available.
Edit: Which Cox isnt from the sound of it.

If a new coach comes in there's a fair chance all the assistants will be looking for a new job... I think he'd back himself in if given the opportunity.
How old is Scooter?
A bit young for serior coach?
You want Buckley? He was literally coaching a team that was destined for the bottom 4 underneath him. A 'no name' coach comes along, and they go to the top 4 the next year. You don't usually get such obvious and immediate feedback - Buckley was a terrible, defensive obsessed coach.I know its impossible to judge from the outside but I was never enamoured by Cox by the way he spoke in the media. Never came across as overly insightful, driven or impactful as a leader. Obviously would have been good to have him in the ring as an option but not too bothered.
Its a shame there is no standout option sitting there - like Sam Mitchell was. Even Simpson was. He had been a champion player, had the best possible apprenticeship at the Hawks over 4 years winning cups under Clarko and a borne leader. Not sure there is someone sitting out there like that and we may have to take abit of a leap of faith.
To be honest, I would nearly have Buckley as my choice. At least you know he is a natural leader and can coach to at least a very good level given he took a side to a GF. I want to avoid us getting a complete flop like rebuilding sides have done in the past (McCarney at Dogs, Neeld at Dees, Bolton at Blues, Primus at Port etc etc), as that really sets you back a couple of years.

He's a great coach, no argument here
Not sure the last "recycled" coach that worked out too well though
A new young coach to grow with a young group is the way to go imo. Theres also an argument that someone with no affiliation to the club might be better too (though I don't think it's a huge negative of they're a former player)
