Can't see Schwab being sacked when Dicker only said a few days ago that the coach was safe till the end of season.
But then who knows

Surely they can wait 6 weeks can't they? I tipped him to be first coach sacked in Round 15 on Hotrods 'Sacklotto'.

Why should the Hawks stick by a losing formula? If he has lost the players, he should get lost himself.

I think we all know it was inevitable. Hawthorn players need a close looking at too.

Germott for coach? His special comments don't seem to be much chop as judged by a recent 3aw listeners poll.
Could be a good time for a career change.

Please let it be true.
Wallace has said about 254698 times that he won't coach this year. He already has other commitments. Next year, he may not even want to coach at Hawthorn. There has been some bad blood between Terry and the Hawks in the past and he may be looking elsewhere, if anywhere at all.
IF Schwab is sacked, the Hawks would be looking for someone already involved with the club to coach the rest of the year. Then be looking for someone from outside the club in 2004.
If Wallace isnt gonna get it, would Eade be a chance?

Think Eade's too busy as well.
Could it be possible that DAVID PARKIN be up for consideration...again?

Get real Suzi.
Schwab deserves the sack and if you can not see that his sacking is deserved then you really live with your head in the sand.\
He is NOT the man for the job. Hawthorn need a coach who will rein in those players who are simply not playing for the club.

He'd fit in well with the "family" image at Hawthorn.

He has the full backing of the board 
who want to put in an inexperienced coach so that he fails and then get high draft picks and then get a quality coach like Wallce or Eade. Isn't that how it is meant to go?

Hawks adamant on Schwab's position

Hawthorn president Ian Dicker has again had to guarantee embattled coach Peter Schwab will see out the season after the Hawks succumbed to bottom club Geelong at Telstra Dome on Sunday.
A week after capitulating by nine goals to an Essendon side missing its four best players, the Hawks sunk even further losing to a Cats side that had previously only won one game for the season by 34 points.
Schwab is in the fourth and final year of his contract as coach and it is widely believed he has to get the team into the finals to keep his job.
But even though this latest defeat – the club’s sixth in nine games this year – makes that task virtually impossible – Dicker has again assured fans Schwab will remain in charge for the rest of the 2003 season.
“I just want to be clear and this is the last time I will say anything about it, I’ve kept saying the same thing – Peter is the coach for the rest of the year and we make the decision (on Schwab’s coaching future) in the four weeks after the season finishes,” Dicker said.
“The board is fully supporting Peter and everything he does.
“He is doing the right thing, trying to find the mix that makes the team play well.
“We (the board) haven’t changed our position one bit as a result of today’s loss – we are going ahead with plans for the year as I’ve said six times and this is the last time.”
The Hawks were booed from the field by disgruntled fans after this latest defeat at the same time the president was on the boundary line clapping his players from the field.
Dicker said he made the gesture because he wanted to show the players and Schwab that he still supported them.
And he denied the loss to the Cats was the low-point his seven years in charge of the club.
“This is not a low point at all, it’s a normal point in footy,” he said.
“The club is fine - we’ve got a good positive future.”
And despite the reaction of the Hawthorn fans at the end of Sunday’s game – Dicker also claimed the majority of the Hawks’ 30,000 plus members were still supportive of what the club is doing.
“We know there are some fans who are mad but we are disappointed when we lose too,” he said.
“I was talking to a fellow tonight, who said he bought another membership this week because I wanted to show you I continue to support the club.
“He said ‘I know you are going through a tough time but I support the club’ and that’s what the bulk of the members are saying.”
Have a read and then email the club and find out for yourself because you are wrong about Peter Schwab.
