Who will coach Collingwood?

[Pies4shaw]

How can you not know "what Wright's advice was"? You don't need anyone to fill out the details - you can just take it from the Coach's statements on the subject. Buckley said this specifically in the press conference: "Over the last couple of weeks in conversations with Graham it was clear that there was an appetite for change in the program...."

Another side issue is that Mick McGuane has basically said he's 'available' as an assistant for the right coach. Is Choco that man? I doubt Lyon is?

[The Boy Who Cried Wolf]

Ok so I'm going to look into my crystal ball right now..

Lyon will be inquired too about his interest as will others, we will than short list some options and I expect Ross to get to the final few. This will take a little time as we 'as of right this second' have no rivals for anyone's services but I think we all know Carlton are now going through the motions and will sack Teague within weeks. Ross knows this and yes Carlton's list as of this moment more suits his immediate needs, so he'll hold off signing with us unless we jump and he can't see the Carlton job becoming available by the end of this season if not sooner. Carlton will sign him immediately at which point we'll sign Williams.

I can't believe people are wanting Ross Lyon.
So yiou wanna go to the footy and watch a slow, dull, defensive game style? We just got rid of Bucks for that reason.
You want a coach that only has time for the stars and doesn't even speak to the youngsters? THey don't call him Ross the Toss for nothing.

Get a grep people. I'm trusting that Wrighty is smarter than that.
And if we do get Lyon, I'm done with footy.

Then there is Mitchell. What has he done as assistant? He just finished playing couple of years back.

Don't talk to me about B Scott either, North couldn't wait to get rid of him. He's a crap coach.
So North wouldn't go near him again, and yet he's good for Collingwood?
What are we a rubbish vortex?

How long is Justin Longmuir’s contract?

Based on Hawthorn;s performance tonight against the Swans, one can surmise that Clarkson has lost absolutely none of his genius and his ability to inspire brilliance in the team he coaches. Hawthorn are below us on the ladder and turned in a performance of such exhilaration and energy that we could never possibly imagine under the 2021 Bux coaching regime.
however, I dont think we are any chance to get him. I think his project now is to rebuild Hawthorn, rather than us.
Beware of Sam Mitchell though. By all means, interview him and make an assessment. But never assume that a former legend can become a master coach. We need to learn lessons from history, especially the immediate history.

I've been saying for years that I'd love Clarko to replace Bucks at Collingwood and that's not changed.

Would love to see him coach the Magpies.

We don't want Clarko... we want the next Clarko

A brief history of Clarkson's post-playing career:

1999: Assistant to Watson at the Saints
2000: Head coach at Werribee
2001: Head coach at Central Districts (SANFL - premiers)
2002: Central Districts - runners up
2003: Midfield coach at Port, under Williams
2004: Port premiership (assistant coach)
============
2005: Head coach at Hawks - rebuild
2007: Hawks make finals
2008: 1st flag at Hawthorn
2009-2012: rebuild again
============
2013: first of 3 in a row

So, prior to getting his first head coach gig, he was:

* Nothing special/successful as a player
* Coached at 4 different clubs in various roles
* Was head coach of 2 state league clubs
* Won a flag at state level
* Was an assistant at a flag-winning AFL club

1st year rebuild, 3rd year finals, 4th year flag is about as good as we could hope for at Collingwood I think - so there's the model

Now ask yourself, out of the current candidates - who fits that?

[The Boy Who Cried Wolf]

Most likely some guy we've never heard of ^

(and if you're referring to Yze, i've heard him interviewed... twice... pass).

My only thought on Lyon is this

[Piethagoras' Theorem]

If we're going for experience my only choice would be Clarko. I think we'd be better served by going with a recently retired (5 years or so) player who's experienced Premiership success or has served as an assistant under a Premiership coach. Recently retired not key but absolutely has to have been involved in a Premiership winning culture as player or assistant. Imho

If Clarko is unavailable, the club doesn't choose Choco Williams and Harvey doesn't show enough to get then job, my advice would be to re-engage Bucks at the end of the year. Having 6 months off might be just the tonic he needs.
