Easy decision for me
Kane Cornes ……… guy has all the answers and is the most astute football analysis and strategist in the land ….. just ask him.
Has the answer for everything football related.
Carr would be good but I think he'd wait another year or two for Hinkley to retire.

If not Simmo then I'd like to see Don Pyke coaching West Coast. He did a pretty good job at Adelaide which ended due to the after effects of their camp which I don't really think was his fault. If they want to have a fresh face who hasn't been a head coach at AFL level I'd like to see someone like Jaymie Graham.
As a Subiaco supporter I wouldn't mind Jarrad Schofield coaching, however since he's joined the club our performances, in particular the midfield/stoppage (his area) has not been great so that might hurt his chances.
As for Josh Carr, keep that flog away from our club.

He's getting on in years and had cancer a few years ago. I think he's working part time at a club somewhere.

As others have mentioned, Schofield has a track record of success and would be a likely candidate.
The other potential coach I’d be interested in is Jaymie Graham.
Many people seem slightly unenthusiastic about the idea of Graham appointment, but I think he is a senior coach in waiting similar to McRae or even Simmo before being appointed coach at West Coast.
For those who have reservations about Graham I suggest you read this piece written by Jake Niall from when Collingwood were looking for a coach to succeed Buckley.

In coach search, Pies should consider this Eagle with remarkable story
The media has focused, as we do, on the bigger and better-known names as prospective candidates. But there is one person the Magpies should consider who would represent an enormous departure from the club’s traditional approach to hiring coaches.
Would the purples melt if Carr is our coach? That'd be worthwhile
Everything I hate about Carr is the reason I think he should be strongly considered.
Schofield is the heir apparent I think, so would probably be favourite at this stage.

We don't really have the players for it though.
Shuey - Perma-injured/retiring
Kelly - Outside player who's had to adapt his game to be more inside
Yeo - See Shuey, sans retirement.
Gaff/Sheed - Lol
Hewett & Ginbey - First years who look solid and will get better over time but need experience.
Petch - His move into the stoppages has actually been a masterstroke, so we'll see what kind of impact he has this weekend.
BWilliams - Been very good at getting clearances most of the year but tapered off the past few games
Schofield and Carr have coached teams to win a flag either in the SANFL or WAFL which i think is a good start.
Most of us assumed Suma or Burns was getting the job after woosha but once they did their due diligence they went with Simmo who impressed the most.

None of those options were overly tempting, but I don't know heaps in this space.
What I do know is we need new voices all together, so Schofield for mine just can't be the snr coach. Happy for him to stay on, but would love to see new thoughts, ideas come in.
If we kept Simpson for the last year of the contract, I wouldn't cry either. With his sole focus on developing the young list.

Surely we keep Simpson for another year.
If he wants to take the heat for another 12 months let him. A new coach is on a hiding to nothing and the cost of paying out Simmo could be severe if he doesn't choose to walk.
Our list is dire and if I stretch my mind back to the first 3 rounds before half our blokes died in the derby we looked...ok.

I'm in the keep Simpson for a year camp and reassess after.
Nathan Van Berlo is someone i'd look at potentially next year.
Did very well with us during his time here. Now coaching at Adelaide who have nearly the best game plan in the league imo.

Interesting, yeah cant I say I know him personally! Which si always a risk putting a bold statement out there, but I do like his story.
Can I ask what the issues were?
Cheers
