This is why it's much more important to get a new GM of football with actual experience running a football program and new assistants from outside Adelaide with new ideas than it is to replace Pyke.Article on the 12 potential replacements for Ross
Geez if we are looking for a coach the pickings are slim
Longmuir - yes but he’s got Freo I think
Sumich - doesn’t seem to want to leave WA
Scott - no
Voss - hell no
Burns - too late
Kingsley - maybe?
Nicks - mmm..
Rawlings - pass
Ratten - Saints
Rutten - maybe one day
Solomon - no thanks
Harvey - Harvey who?
Maybe a couple of those as assistants
Out of those ...Article on the 12 potential replacements for Ross

Ratten would be my top pick, then Scott. (I don't think Ratten will be available.)
I'd want someone who has been HEAD coach at some level, and their last name doesn't rhyme with TOSS.
Longmuir, Burns, Sumich, Nicks all seem like a bigger dice roll.
I'm starting to concede that Pyke might not get moved. It feels like we are going to miss the boat on everyone worthwhile and decide we should stick with the awesome team that got us to a GF in 2017. Oh dear god, help us.
I agree completely. It just doesn’t happen. Which I think is a waste.I don't know where you've worked in the past, but I have rarely ever seen an organization or individual that is introspective and honest with themselves in this manner. I seriously doubt a football club is where we'd find it.
When you say 'change assistants' who do you think will be cleared out?I think we’ll stick with Pyke but change the assistants
It may be false hope but I reckon there’ll be a significant clean out of players and coaches
This is all well and good, but our group of players are a special bunch and wouldnt like a head coach with Scotts attributes. Dummies would start flying very quickly i think.OK - we are at an extreme low. Things can get crazy when it all goes this bad. I get it. But ...
I think Brad Scott would be a good choice as Adelaide's next coach.
He is experienced, passionate, genuine and brutally honest.
He understands the non-Victorian club thing really well. (his time as a player in Brisbane)
He dealt with the moving on of long term players with aplomb.
He had a healthy relationship with his players.
He made North's list better even though they had NO pulling power at all.
He built a really good list of assistants at North.
He did the absolute right thing by North at the end of his tenure ... this may not count in some people's eyes, but for me it shows an integrity I want in our coach. I don't want to hear our coach say "I'm contracted for two more years" as the reason for no-one to question his tenure. (When Jenkins says "I've got a contract" everyone explodes, when Pyke said it a few weeks ago no-one batted an eyelid. To me it's a terrible attitude.)
I compare him to Pyke ... and the other options around the place, and I see some really important points of difference.
He also had Chris Judd.Has a better record than Brad Scott.
Excluding his time as a caretaker coach, he took Carlton to finals three times out of five seasons, compared to Scott's four times in nine seasons. Higher winning percentage (slightly). Only had a sub-50% win loss record in one season, compared to four for Scott.
Also has Hawthorn experience
I find it disturbing how much time Burton spends in the coaching box and with the players out on the field at quarter and three quarter time. Seems to me that apart from all of the failed programs/ideas that Burton has introduced, he also has far too much input into game day decisions

When you say 'change assistants' who do you think will be cleared out?
Campo told he's no longer required ?
Hart told that he has not hit his KPIs ?
Obviously we all think that the Head of Football is a massive change that MUST happen ... But who will drive this change? Roo? Fagan? Pyke?
I'm not holding my breath.

What about Mark Thompson? Do his bail conditions allow him to leave Victoria?
We don’t have a Head of Football do we? Do you mean Senior Coach? Or Roo’s position as Football Director?
Getting in someone as a football head is a good idea I think

Worsfold to coach Freo. We'll just leave this here.
On the Freo board they’re also thinking Worsfold as Director of Coaching and Longmuir as senior coach
I’d probably have him here as DoC
