If we have a repeat year of 2015, we will all be calling for his head.
Succession plans are bullshit and if things work out the way I believe they will Ken could coach us for a decade.
I would like to see him coach his own team before i would entrust him with an AFL side. Where better to start than the SANFL. Most on here like the Bassett idea and that is only because he has coached at a senior level and has shown he has what it takes.

At which point we go find our Dew or Dew type.
I just don't like hiring someone and virtually guaranteeing them a promotion (or backing ourselves into a corner where we have to promote or break our word)
What if the players hate him. What if he he just doesn't fit. What if anther assistant at port or another standout elsewhere pops up in those 3 years?
Just have your coach and when you need a new one then hunt him down.
Yes he could and i hope he does, because to coach for a decade at the mighty Port Adelaide Footy Club, he must have put some beautiful icing on a Premiership cake. The word could is a loose term, we all thought Butcher could kick.
Imagine the conversation "Hey Kern' we know you are only at the end of the 3rd year but we've brought in "Johnny come lately" here to groom for ya job in a couple of years they all say he's got the makings of a wonderful coach & the grapevine is never wrong.. anyway no pressure onwards & upwards old boy"
Who knows, maybe Ken has plans to return to Victoria after his contract ends, then we have a ready made coach which has been working close with Ken. just putting out there.
Don't get me Wrong i love our Kern but there were many posts on here questioning his selections, gold passes and even his soft pressers after 1 poor year. Seriously though, i would hate to see Dew or even Lade get lost to the franchise down the road.

This has gotta be up there with the most pointless, stupid hypotheticals. Just concede the argument m8.
Like i said a little left field.

Well, I think we should look into cloning raptors to replace Wingard and White, and splice Schulz's DNA with a diplodocus. I know it's left field, but just thought I would put it out there for discussion.

Maybe with Hocking coming back to the AFL then Nicks could coach the Magpies (as Nicks has got his cert 4 in coaching and he did take a couple of games pre season).
Then Bassett could take over our defence ....

The missing link huh might have been a good coach had he learn't to make his point somewhere underneath the 45 minute bracket.
I'm thinking IF Nicks wants to be an AFL senior coach he needs a midfield role in some capacity.
Carr out, Bassett in.
Bassett -> backline line coach
Nicks -> midfield line coach (with Voss)
Would ideally like a tactician coach alongside Ken but it seems unlikely.

i like it, but we have just taken the coach from the only functioning part of our team (defense), maybe a case of robbing peter to pay paul. We really nneed a top forwards coach to replace edwards.

I can see Ken and Basset becoming good buddies should Nathan take up the offer. I think he would make an immediate impact on the team. When I listen to him on 5AA, he comes across as very astute gentlemen who shows similar traits as Ken. I think Nathan will become a very good AFL coach one day.
I very much look forward to have Nathan Basset on board...
Snap him up before someone else does, otherwise he will be the one that got away.

Fine I'll take a role in the box but it needs to be 400k per year and 5 year deal.

sad part is that 5 years ago, being a big footy moderator probably would have gotten you an interview too.

Yeah the paranoid hypothetical is pointless.
A more reasonable one - in light of two recent events involving Ken's coaching colleagues - he may feel a need to make long term plans for lifestyle change before the stresses and the perpetual urge to go on one more year starts to catch up with him. It's not any succession plan surely but about seeking assistants who aspire to a top job at some point just in case.
It could also just be the club and Ken wanting to improve things a bit

Apart from any possible changes to the roles of Voss and Carr I will be very interested to see if the club does anything with the invisible man Shaun Hart.
And at the risk of upsetting the multitudes, no I'm not a fan of either of the ex brions.

> sulking and moaning about us getting too big for our boots in the media is extremely prevalent on here
> uses a coach's lack of media profile as the basis for saying he doesn't do anything
Righto then.
Why? they are both as unproven as head coaches as plucka duck
*Our position is not one of planning the next coach in 3-5 years time, if those guys are good candidates down the track they'll be sounded out.
