The 2006 premiership coach is out of contract at the end of the year and announced pre-season that he would hold off contract negotiations until October.
What's wrong with West Coast? Reporter Peter Ryan investigates
On Monday night, former Essendon champion Matthew Lloyd said if West Coast did not win this year's premiership, that Worsfold and club should part ways.
Lloyd suggested that West Coast was at the right time of the premiership cycle to be contending and that if the Eagles did not win silverware then Worsfold’s tenure should end.
"I think if they don’t win the flag this year, you’ve got (Daniel) Kerr, you’ve got (Dean) Cox, you’ve got Darren Glass all probably coming to the end of their career, maybe it’s time for West Coast and John Worsfold to part ways," Lloyd said.
On Wednesday, Worsfold said he wasn't too concerned about Lloyd’s comments, but admitted his future was far from certain beyond this year, whether the Eagles enjoyed success or not.
"I hadn't heard it until then. Matthew Lloyd's job is to comment on footy issues," he said.
"Now … if the Eagles finish last this year, maybe the Eagles board will have to have a look at their coaching direction. I mean, surely that's just what you do.
"I think at the end of this year, myself and the club will discuss where the team's at, and how it's performed, and the best way to go forward.
"And after we win the flag, I'll still weigh it up with the club, because maybe winning another premiership might be the right time to change. So we'll wait and see."
Worsfold was philosophical about Lloyd’s assessment that it was flag or bust.
"Maybe our board think that? I don't know. If we get beaten in the Grand Final by one point, and Matthew Lloyd says that's time, would he really think that? I don't know. I will concern myself with that in October," he said.
This is Worsfold’s 12th season in charge of West Coast. His side reached the finals in his first six campaigns, including two Grand Final appearances in 2005 and 2006.
Pressure came on Worsfold after his team finished 15th in 2008, 11th in 2009, and last in 2010 but the Eagles made a remarkable turnaround winning finals in each of the last two seasons.
He has coached in 261 matches for West Coast. Only eight coaches – Jock McHale (714 at Collingwood), Kevin Sheedy (635 at Essendon), Allan Jeans (332 at St Kilda), Norm Smith (307 at Melbourne), Michael Malthouse (286 at Collingwood), Percy Bentley (281 at Carlton), Mark Williams (274 at Port Adelaide) and Phonse Kyne (272 at Collingwood) - have coached more games for one club.
When asked whether 10 years at one club was too long, Worsfold was playful.
"(Kevin) Sheedy and (Mick) Malthouse will say no," he said.
"So I'll go down the Sheedy version that it worked pretty well."
