Your stat is a self fulfilling prophecy. Coaches rarely last a few years without a premiership simply because most fans and administrations scapegoat the coach because it's just easy to do so. Richmond are an example of a club that bucked the trend and persisted with Hardwick despite enormous pressure externally he wasn't up to it, his team showing pretty much nothing for 8 years until they finally won.

The narrative you paint is a coach that has been in the system for 13 years and has shown nothing, which is objectively false. What we actually have is a person that has made two grand finals with two separate teams, and is only a few years into his first rebuild. I explain this to my friends that don't follow AFL and they are confounded why our fans want to get rid of him so quickly.

a 2011 style coup is likely never going to happen soon. Lyon has weaknesses as a coach, every coach does. Even Geelong fans criticize Chris Scott on their board. Go on West Coasts board before 2018 and there were plenty of bigfooty experts delineating all of Simpsons flaws and how West Coast would go no where under him and the current administration. But until you actually name who else could possibly be available to coach us and do a better job, it's a moot discussion.
good points

That just pisses me off.

Almost at Al Bundy level of reliving your football past if that's his current social media photo.

RoLyball became almost redundant when the interchange cap was reduced, and totally so with the 6-6-6. And RoLy didn't adjust.

Hence why we abandoned it for attacking stoppage set ups, high play on rates and high corridor use % but got cooked when injuries happened and our skills were found wanting
 
A few points from the other side...

600+ pages on one guy. I'm impressed.

But sacking him with one game to go in the season? Come on. It's either 2 months ago to try out an assistant, or leave him in for the last game. One week to go is just plain silly.

Please go with Brad Scott. His permanent whinging and slappable face would make him a perfect replacement. Everyone else would have something to laugh at and you guys would still have one of your own to hate. But seriously, there is a lot of hatred for Sumich on this board. I know he played for us, but he is a South Freo boy and has been in the U18 system for a while and has a good insight at the up and coming talent. And WA did win the champs.
Oh look another eagle who thinks his opinion carries some weight... let me guess coz yous follows da eaglez yous nose bestz aye??

I really do love it , all you eaglebois coming onto here to sprout how good sumich is... well if he was so ****en good why didn’t YOUR club appoint him when they had the chance???

That’s right they didn’t ... but of course he’s “good enough” (being an ex eagle)for little brother amirite?

I understand that it might be beyond your limited abilities but you could try scrolling up and reading before defecating all over this thread. Believe it or not, not everything revolves around the Eagles. Sumich is a white-anting saboteur, who he played for is irrelevant.
 
St Kilda should realise the horrible mistake they made of letting Ross Lyon go in the first place and should sign him up for 10 years!!!
