Schofield is a premiership player, coached his own team to multiple premierships (Subi) but hasn't been a premiership assistant. I think that's a pretty good resume as well.

I like Schofield, I hope he gets a head coach job somewhere. But I don't think it's with us, we need a complete fresh start and a coach who hasn't been around the club before.
McQualter for no other reason that he seems to be capable of handling the media with a good sense of humour and cheekiness also .
Schofield has them covered though .
McQualter will be picked as Eagles coach though and will be a good fit capable being head coach .

I feel the same with flabby unfit coaches. It's a sort of contradiction when you're running a sports team, something about a lack of self control or discipline - but it doesn't hold water of course, there's plenty of flabby coaches out there who are great at their craft.
I thought King had that steely resolve thing going on (Woosha), he came highly recommended by Scott for what that's worth.
I read somewhere one of the other two was very adept at the new tactics/modern game.
Otherwise Schofield is steely, fit, has a good resume, dumped Darling, made some changes in a short time, and has tatts that really annoy Caroline Wilson (that's gotta be a good thang!)

Obviously, if our coach isn't a sexy hunk, what's the point?

I just do not get the love so many in this thread seem to have for Schofield.
Not the best resume, not the best interim coaching performance, not the hottest.

You don't know that for sure. I assume that's what the interviews are to find out.

He appeals to the older generation that seem to think all our problems will be resolved if we have an angry coach that yells at the players.
The typical "back in my day" types.

Yes but I assumed the tattoos would cancel that out for those types.
They’d also be very conflicted by his tatts and the way he wears a lanyard

Although it explains why the WAFL flags he won on easy mode are held as the pinnacle of a coaching resume.

The f*ck you just say about me?!

You wouldn't say that if you saw the flaming skull he has all across his back.

Maybe I am way to Old School .... BUT ...... under my watch neither of those coming into town for a face to face meeting, of such importance, would EVER have been left to catch a Cab from the airport.
Thats something that I don't like, one little bit.
Sorry I will call that as I see it.

Poor Form, West Coast.

I think people are overlooking the fact that Schofield is a former Fremantle player.
That should almost be a disqualifying factor.

I think your being unfair about his interim coaching, he did a fantastic job. However I'm not convinced about the WAFL coaching Subiaco at the time were winning one gf roughly every three years because of the Subiaco oval cash.

McQualter and King's interim stints are far better imo.
McQualter went 7-6 with a team Hardwick had 3-1-6, and King beat 2 finalists when he took over GC.
Perhaps and the state of the list?
King I really want, Cat's do mid field really well and that's been the weakness.
