West Coast enlist help from Northampton’s Harry Taylor in search for next senior coach

Geelong Cats legend and Northampton’s own Harry Taylor has been called up to help the West Coast Eagles in their search for a senior coach. The two-time premiership player currently works as a performance leadership consultant with the Eagles and can be regularly seen helping out at trainings and game days. He previously worked with Geelong as head of high-performance medical and conditioning, before joining the Eagles last year. Taylor joins a panel of five people that will help search for Adam Simpson’s replacement including chief executive Don Pyke, general manager Gavin Bell, director Jan Cooper and director of football affairs Rowan Jones. The panel of five will conduct interviews with candidates and provide consultation as to who will be the seventh senior coach in Eagles history. Among those who have been linked to the job includes current caretaker Jarrad Schofield, Fremantle assistant Jaymie Graham, Carlton’s Ash Hansen, Port Adelaide’s Ken Hinkley, GWS’ Brett Montgomery, Collingwood’s Hayden Skipworth and Essendon’s Daniel Giansiracusa.
