David King, the guy knows everything about footy. His insight onto the inner workings of game plans and stats make him peerless

If you look at recent appointments, the guys that have turned clubs fortunes around quickly and sustainably is Fagan and Noble. Collingwood should look at this model and look for an experienced football person, that's worked in the real world. In today's game, the coach is more a manager than strategist. Both the above guys know their strengths and weaknesses, how experience outside an AFL environment.
Is there anyone out there similar? Maybe chocco

Hard to believe it will be anybody other than Clarkson. The only people who couldn’t have been interviewed and accepted the job right now are people contracted for 2022 as a senior coach. All the top assistants/out of work coaches could have been interviewed and signed already. It makes no sense for Collingwood to wait until the end of the season to interview those candidates when other clubs such as Carlton could also be looking for a coach and interfere with those plans. So I think Collingwood have zeroed in on Clarkson and it’s just a waiting game to see if he his contract paid out from Hawthorn if fired, or gets nothing if he quits. Clarkson talk this week of never breaking a contract seems to indicate that game of chicken is just starting to heat up.
Clarkson ain’t leaving. He made that very clear. Would look like a idiot if he went back on that now

Brad Scott front runner, footy classified.....i think.
His speech had very strong Nick Saban 2006 vibes to it
Saban: 'I'm not going to be the Alabama coach'
Nick Saban again adamantly denied that he's headed back to the college ranks, denouncing rumors that he is interested in the Alabama coaching job.
Saban rolls with the Tide, takes Alabama job
Alabama is ready for "new era" of football, and is certain Nick Saban can return the Crimson Tide to college football's elite.
I don’t think the people in Alabama are too worried about any embarrassment that comment may have caused given his record since he landed in Tuscaloosa.
But again regardless of all of that, why would Collingwood not have interviewed and hired Williams, Pyke, Scott, Lyon etc at some point in the last 6 weeks, instead of waiting until the end of the season when other clubs could spoil those plans?
The only reason to wait is if you have to wait, the only reason you’d have to wait is if your candidate can’t accept now, and the only people that fit into that criteria are the people currently under contract to coach in 2022.

Has Clarko ever developed his own players? Hodge/Mitchell/Franklin were there before him and the rest of the players were traded in. Siciliy is the only one I can think of. Maybe Bruest & Gunston but they walked into a Hodge/Mitchell led team

Does anyone know anything about Yze when they put his name up in these lists, or does he just get named due to association with Clarkson?

With the names you have listed, he has turned many many midtier players into A graders, e.g. Gunston, Gibson, Lake, Frawly, Hale, Burgoyne etc. There are probably a lot more but almost all the recruits hawks have gotten post 2008 went to another level.
Pyke is the obvious one. Took a bog average Adelaide list with no top 10 draft picks to a GF, before that did good things as the strategy guy at West Coast and now has turned Sydney from a rabble into a serious outfit.

Shake down the thunder
No doubt Pyke has been a terrific addition to the Swans but is only one factor in the turnaround. The game plan was being road tested last season amidst a dire injury run. Recruitment has targeted skilled players. We also got very lucky with Hickey.
Most importantly the Bloods addressed deficiencies in the fitness and rehab areas. Our injury list has been significantly trimmed.

Well, who would want to coach collingwood? it's a coach killer, although not as bad as calton atm but in the post eddie era of board factioinalims, that will seep into the coaching box in that who to coach and who to recruit becomes a political issue.

Franklin, Roughead, Lewis, Birchall, Rioli all arrived after Clarkson. Plus half of our other 2008/13/14/15 premierships players.
Depends on how much of the Adelaide debacle has stuck to him... I reckon he is easily the best candidate but he may be too tainted...
I am with you, this guy knows it all. He is perfect at everything. We could see the first ever undefeated club if King took the reigns.
It's a very soft narrative to focus on the coach and game plan
The real issue is the Pies list and list management is utterly disastrous.
Worst list in the AFL by a country mile.
