Any coach should be given 3 as we are in a rebuild.
The positive is you’re already in the club.A few good wins to end the season should NOT guarantee anybody the permanent role.
There is more to a coaching gig than just getting the guys up for a few weeks.
If he is best in the process then I am ok with that for sure. Although measuring his potential is always going to be hard and not as simplistic as other potential coachesBut what happens if he’s the best in the process? Why would you give him 2 and say a Hansen/Montgomery etc 3
I think I’d rather 2 with kpis triggering the third.No matter who it is it will be 3 minimum.
schoey is older than one of them old pops and it ain’t the former Essendon coachThe bloke has played in an AFL premiership team, and coached 3 WAFL premierships, think he’s done a bit more than your usual assistant coach. Bonus arm sleeve. No comparison to the Teagues Boltons and Shaws.
They’ll go through the process. Looking at the candidates in the mix, he’s the front runner now, unless the wheels fall off in the last 2 games.
With old pops simmo and knights gone, its a very different coaching panel.
Not just getting them up and about, he’s making good selection calls, discovering new positions, changing strategy and tactics mid game, and standing up for our blokes and club in the media. Whats he missing?

We dont know what hes missing. The club will have to find out.The bloke has played in an AFL premiership team, and coached 3 WAFL premierships, think he’s done a bit more than your usual assistant coach. Bonus arm sleeve. No comparison to the Teagues Boltons and Shaws.

Which means schofield stock is rising.Watching this Hawks v Carlton game
Hansen stocks falling
Hickmott stocks rising
Reckon a few senior players might call it early as well and avoid the trip, also giving us a look at a couple of young or fringe players. Could get ugly but would have no influence on the decision.The last game is away v Geelong who love giving us a flogging down there a really tough assignment for any coach..
They will come hard with spots tight in the top 4 ..Pray for Schofield please..

Tbf Schoey looks good for a man pushing 50 and simmo looked like a +40 year old towards the end of his careerno way!
Simmo aged bigtime
Jarrad Schofield is a premiership player. He's spent 3 years coaching Subiaco Colts, a year as an assistant at Claremont and then was the senior coach at Subiaco where he won three premierships. He then was an assistant at Port Adelaide for three years, during which they placed 10th... then 1st and 2nd. Not saying he was responsible for Port's rise, but incidentally they dropped down to 11th after he left.
Basically, his credentials are as good as any senior assistance coach going around. They are arguably better than Worsfold's credentials were when he got the job -- 2 premierships as a player and captain, but only 2 years coaching experience at Carlton.
Schofield came to West Coast with an excellent reputation, and was widely tipped to have senior-coaching potential. It feels like he's been tarnished by the last couple of years, which I think is unfair. Ever worked in a job where things were being run like shit? Did you feel like you deserved the blame?
No, a few good wins to the end of the season don't guarantee the permant role. But combine those wins with an excellent resume and Schofield should be the leading candidate. I'm struggling to think of any other candidate that has better credentials, and he now has the benefit of proving that he also win matches when he's sitting in the big chair. And I don't think any other candidate can say that.
I've heard some discontent from inside the blues 4 walls about Hanson as game day coach running the show from the box.Watching this Hawks v Carlton game

I agree, but credentials alone shouldnt be enough. Winning at WAFL isnt the same as winning at AFL. They have to look at his vision for the future as wellJarrad Schofield is a premiership player.
