Always suspicious of managers, who appoint managers. Or football directors and coaching educator in this case.
Either goodisonnews have no idea what ‘eschew’ means, or we have appointed a very bad director of football.
Posh spiel for Coach Driver.Forgive my ignorance, but what is a coach educator?

The WatchmenCoaches the coaches.
But the question remains .... who coaches the coach coach?
So he coaches football coaches?
From his LinkedIn . I’ve no idea if this means he’s any good , but given the shambles we are at many levels in our club he can hardly make things worse.

Knowing Everton, we’ll get the first team to play like the kids do.So somebody - hopefully Lampard - is setting a direction that they want the first team to play. For us to be successful and have a ‘footballing identity’ or whatever is the hip term now, we need our entire set up all the way down to the kids to play the same way so they’re ready to slot in when called upon.
It’ll be this guys job to ensure that all the various coaches across our levels are doing that and hold them accountable for their varying successes at doing so.
Sounds like a good idea to me.
