Geelong coach Chris Scott will be signing a contact extension "sooner rather than later" according to CEO Brian Cook.
The 2011 Premiership coach is coming into the final year of his contract his season, Cook said Scott has the complete backing of the board.
โWeโre talking with his manager, Craig Kelly, on a regular basis,โ Cook said on Thursday.
โWe will finalise a contract at some stage โ hopefully sooner rather than later.โ
โItโs been discussed at board level. Itโs been discussed at executive level, and thereโs complete support for Chris and extending the contract.โ
The Cats have only missed finals onceย since Scott took the reigns, his career win-loss record sits at 102-39 for a 72.18% winning percentage. Cook said his performance warrants an extension.
โOver his six years heโs averaged 17 wins per year, he won a premiership in โ11 when we lost a first good players, including Gary Ablett, and heโs transitioned a list where thereโs only 10 players left from when he first came,โ Cook said.
โItโs a pretty good record.โ
