- Freo's senior assistant Longmuire says he is ready

If Simpson gets sacked soon who do we think next coach will be ?

For me in order of preference:

Ashley Hansen - seems to have good reputation for tactics and strategy

Dean Cox - senior Sydney assistant experienced assistant

Don Pyke - would make a great next CEO as well as a new coach ( i think he would be really good as our next CEO than coach)

Jaymie Graham - Freo's senior assistant Longmuire says he is ready

Does Don Pyke have any experience in business? Or has he been a coach since retiring?

Pyke was a very successful businessman before coaching. I think he had an engineering business which he sold - He wouldnt be desperate for a quid at this stage of his life, just enjoys the coaching side. Would be a great CEO and equally as good a senior coach i reckon. His time at Adelaide wasnt a true reflection of his coaching ability, although getting them to a GF was pretty impressive. He was just hamstrung by having to put up with a lot of incompetent people like Burton and the boys club there. He and Cox might be a good coaching team. Jarrad Schofield always seemed like a senior coach in waiting but the whole WC coaching group has probably been tarnished by the last few years effort and we probably need a good clean out and start again...

All ex-Eagles I noticed.

I know there was vehement opposition when a 300 game Kangaroo was appointed a decade ago, yet when he quits/is sacked Simpson will only end up behind Malthouse - another non-West Australian - as the most successful West Coast coach.

I have no particular opinion other than I hope we consider all options and not just limit ourselves to favourite sons. If someone like Dean Cox

is hired because of his outstanding credentials, fine - but not because he is an Eagles hall of famer.

John Worsfold, Mick Malthouse.

We really really didn't want to lose Ash Hansen so it seems he's highly regarded in club land

Your club could do with a similar approach

Well you have had the Hungry Jacks king, so perhaps

I'd even go as far as saying Eagles need to look at someone from over east, and ignore the Perth bubble.

I'd even go as far as saying Eagles need to look at someone from over east, and ignore the Perth bubble.

Worked last time, lot of pressure to hire Peter Sumich when John Worsfold departed but we went with the relatively obscure (to WA) Adam Simpson. I am sure I can dig up the hundreds of posts from Eagles fans on BigFooty trashing the appointment before he even set foot in Perth.

I hope the process is thorough and we ignore the 'Perth bubble' indeed.

 

[The hands of stone]

Dimma Hardwick would be a good get

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Peter Sumich

 

[freoextra]

Nisbett, might as well as he is never leaving and has plenty of time

 

[Rod Stroker]

If Simpson gets sacked soon who do we think next coach will be ?

For me in order of preference:

Ashley Hansen - seems to have good reputation for tactics and strategy

Dean Cox - senior Sydney assistant experienced assistant

Don Pyke - would make a great next CEO as well as a new coach ( i think he would be really good as our next CEO than coach)

Jaymie Graham - Freo's senior assistant Longmuire says he is ready

if those are the options, Pyke is the standout.

 

[HugeJohnson]

Ken Hinkley

 

[The 747]

Best available regardless of where they were born, and a comprehensive selection process (since they would have that luxury).

 

[bzparkes]

We really really didn't want to lose Ash Hansen so it seems he's highly regarded in club land

He's my pick.

 

[Stumpy Pete]

Buckley?

[GoldbergsGold]

Ken Hinkley

Crows supporters want him at Port for another 100 years.

 

[bzparkes]

Buckley?

Regards

S. Pete

Nah. I think most would rather go with some highly regarded assistant.

 

[HairyO]

It would be stupid to sack the coach before they hit rock bottom.

End of next year would be the time to replace him.

 

[CakeEater]

Peter Sumich

How so?
