Worsfold is out of contract at the end of the year and Eagles chief executive Trevor Nisbett has declared the club will wait until the end of the season before discussing the prospect of a contract extension for the 2006 premiership coach.
But those comments were made a little over two weeks ago, before West Coast followed up an impressive win over Fremantle with a crushing 123-point triumph over the Western Bulldogs.
The Eagles (5-3) are just two points adrift of fourth spot and are fast becoming one of the most feared teams in the competition, but Worsfold said on Wednesday he had not given any more thought to his contract situation.
"I'm more than comfortable with the club's position and my position," Worsfold said ahead of Sunday's clash with Collingwood at the MCG.
"It was mutual that 'let's get through the season before we make any decision about what's the best way forward for the team and the club'.
"I would love to see this group win a premiership. I would be very proud of them winning a premiership and I'd love to be part of that.
"But all that will be (decided) at the end of the season when you actually can have a clear head and sit down and think about it."
Should the Eagles continue to play anywhere close to their current form, Worsfold is almost certain to earn a contract extension if he chooses to continue coaching beyond this year.
And with the fledgling group showing so much promise, it's hard to see Worsfold walking away despite the heat placed on his future during last year's wooden spoon campaign.
