Why Simpson was chosen to help find Carlton's next coach — SEN
“When I was approached, it was a no-brainer for me.”
www.sen.com.auThe latest notable news is that Adam Simpson has been serving as a consultant at Carlton and has now been added to the panel helping choose Carlton’s next senior coach. Reports say he has also ruled himself out of taking the coaching job himself.[1][3]
What’s happening
Carlton appointed Simpson into a club advisory role this year, and recent coverage says his involvement has expanded to the coach-search panel alongside Carlton executives.[3][1]
Why it matters
The main storyline is a possible conflict of interest, since Simpson has not completely closed the door on coaching again in future, even though he has said he is not pursuing Carlton’s vacancy now.[1]
Other recent note
There were also reports in late March that his media commitments were being wound up, though the more concrete and recent story is his Carlton panel role.[5]
