What would get your coach sacked in 2013

[tonk]

Having a Big Footy account.

Clarko safe for next year I'd say. Maybe if we missed finals or he treated a juniors umpire like a plaster wall

I was thinking Clarko would have to punch Vlad in the mouth........The club and the AFL community would probably applaud, but the AFL would deregister him.......so Vlad would still get the final toothless smile.

 

[bumsonseats]

Dont say that on Big Footy, hutchy will take it and run with it....It will be reported early next week that Scott Watters has gotten Kim Duthie pregnant

Or maybe just some nude pics with StNic

 

[Mr Eagle]

I don't even want to think about how badly our season would have to go for Lyon to get the sack already.

There would have to be at least one player (probably a Pav or McPharlin) spontaneously combust in the pre-season just to get things rolling. Anything less than that and I think he'll survive.

 

[ep2018]

Miss finals next year and we will replace Woosha with someone else IMO.

 

[WeSt CoAsT EaGLeS]

I think Worsfold is at a stage where he's truly calling the shots at the footy club, surely no chairman/admin at the Eagles could ask him to depart?

Been at the helm since 2002, longer than any other current coach at their club right now. Not to mention him being a premiership coach and premiership captain of two grand finals in our short history. Managed to rebuild the club rapidly after that 2008-2010 slump.

The current state of affairs at the club is essentially all his doing. Moreover, have you seen this man handle journos in press conferences?

It would be like sacking Steve Jobs (if he was still alive) from Apple.

Most interesting IMO is what Melbourne supporters think about this in relation to their coach.

If we fail to improve Neeld goes. I think six wins is a pass next season.

 

[smashing]

WCE would have to finish bottom 4 I reckon.

I don't think there would be a coach with less pressure on him than Worsfold.

 

[Tulip]

Most interesting IMO is what Melbourne supporters think about this in relation to their coach.

If we go backwards, he may go.

I think he's on a 3 year contract, so I doubt he'll be going anywhere until he's had the chance to stabilise the club and implement his vision.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Coaches who could lose their job with football relate issues.

Voss
Hird (unlikely)
McKenna
Clarkson
Neeld
B. Scott
Hardwick
Worsfold

Those guys are really the only ones in any trouble, and none are under alot of pressure (except Hardwick for mine).

I'd say Hird would be under significantly more pressure than Worsfold, personally. In the end, it was a great effort for Woosher to get the Eagles to a semi final, with the injuries they had. Surely, it's nearly finals or bust for Hird?

 

[Doctor Feel]

If Hardwick doesn't get real improvement, i'd say he will be under pressure.

There isn't much excellent coaching talent around right now though, they've all got senior jobs!

 

[Arwib]

I think a murder conviction might just about do it.

 

[CAS79]

Nothing to do with football. If he had some massive scandal outside of footy, probably.

Same with ours bit even period of incarceration we'd back him to run the team from there too.

 

[Daniel Cherny]

Would probably have to finish bottom 2

 

[Kaan]

Not much.

 

[TheBrownlowMan37]

Watters would probably have to have an affair with Kim Duthie and take a shit on Etihad Stadium during a game in order to get sacked. I doubt even a wooden spoon would be enough to do it.

"Pregnant Kim. Watters' Broke."

 

[FredLeDeux]

At Port Adelaide, just having the job is enough to get you sacked, you're going to get the blame sooner rather than later, no matter what.

 

[Ando727]

I think coaches might hang on to their jobs longer than in the past. One thing that has been painfully obvious with the last few coaching selection processes is that there isn't exactly a huge surplus of coaching talent out there. Who's out there now who would command a senior job through reputation alone? Burns? Ratten? Harvey? Eade? It's slim pickings.

 

[ioppolo]

Off field troubles is about it.

 

[sherb]

An affair with Eddie.

 

[treefingers]

Not making the prelims at least. Although anything less than a premiership or grand final appearance and he could be on shaky ground, you never know

 

[Bloods Rule!]

WCE would have to finish bottom 4 I reckon.

I don't think there would be a coach with less pressure on him than Worsfold.

Um, I think at Sydney it'd have to be something involving a goat and a stolen camcorder.

 

[DanA]

Scott for Geelong has it easy. Even if we finish bottom 4 I think he would hold his job. The only way I see him getting sacked is if he lost the playing groups trust.

 

[Glenno23]

Bucks would have to cut Eddie's lunch I would have thought.

Eddie would give him a pay rise if he did that!

he'd be stoked that such a fine specimen would be interested in what he is hitting

 

[RedLegs#5]

Neeld still has next year to grow the team. It's 2014 that Melbourne will/should really start to judge him. Don't forget the players he's turning over. This is his first proper off season with the team/club/list.
