@reecehutchy45 Do you understand the word interest as opposed to applying

Well credentialed coaches dwindling by the minute.
Essendon have done it again ✔️💀

Adam Simpson has backed Ken Hinkley’s comments that few prospective coaches would pursue the Essendon job if James Hird remained in contention. READ 👉 bit.ly/4u3fZy9

ESSENDON FANS. Do you want James Hird to coach the club in 2027 and beyond?
English
@FlagDonsBJ @JakeDav08180745 Says the guy who leaves a comment first on a post that’s against James Hird coaching?
Im just backing up old mate before you go on the defensive and throw a few explicits like you did yesterday.
Absolute clown. 🤣😭
Cheers,

@JakeDav08180745 @FlagDonsBJ Don’t worry about Jacobson, Jakey. He’s only got rose coloured glasses mate.

"The spirit of Essendon is not there" says James Hird.
Well if the Bombers want an 'Essendon Man' the choice is Mark McVeigh, not Hird.

"The spirit of Essendon is not there. We are at ground zero... that needs people around the place that know how to rebuild that spirit." - James Hird #9FootyClassified | Watch on 9 & 9Now 🖥️

@Damian_fasciani It’s not all but i’d say 70-80% of the supporters are as dysfunctional as the club when it comes to this topic.

Awful drafting 💀😂
If anything, this shows how good Matt Rosa is. 🙌🏼
James Lowrie@JamesLowrie24
I think Hird coaching Essendon is a done deal and inevitable now. As long as we learn lessons from the past. Last time we looked for short cuts and not at the draft which almost crippled the club. Drafting in Hird’s 4 years was also grim. Rosa can’t be sidelined in any way. Recruits in Hird’s years 2010 Heppell, Steinberg, Browne, Davis, Ross, Hibberd 2011 Kavanagh, J Merrett, O’Brien 2012 Daniher, Ashby, Van Unen, Kommer, Gregory 2014 Langford, Laverde Howlett and Crameri were upgraded but always at the club

@sumwheresmiling To put it bluntly, yes.
And that hurts for 80% of the fanbase with rose coloured glasses on.
They genuinely don’t care about the risks.
I’d say, prepare for catastrophe, that’s not exaggeration either.

Four premierships later, you'd say that one worked out pretty well for the Hawks.

One of the most telling moments in Hird's Footy Classified appearance was co-panellist and former Hawthorn great Dermott Brereton observing: "If Essendon's broken, I think the only person who can fix Essendon is an Essendon person."

A few initial thoughts on James Hird's potential return as Essendon coach for Australian Community Media ... canberratimes.com.au/story/9254536/…
English
Interesting, given that Hawthorn was also at a very low ebb in 2004 when looking for a new coach, and overlooked some former club greats and established coaches in Terry Wallace, Gary Ayres and Rodney Eade to appoint a low-profile, untried candidate in Alastair Clarkson.

The argument I’m seeing that Essendon needs an Essendon person that “loves the club” to be the next coach is just absolutely juvenile and bordering on laughable.
Was Clarkson a Hawthorn person beforehand? Was McRae a Collingwood person beforehand? Was Chris Scott a Geelong person beforehand? Was Damien Hardwick a Richmond person beforehand? Was Adam Simpson a West Coast person beforehand? Was John Longmire a Sydney person beforehand? Was Chris Fagan a Brisbane person beforehand? Oh, and get this: WAS KEVIN SHEEDY AN ESSENDON PERSON BEFOREHAND?? 🤣🤣
If this backward amateur-level thinking rooted in the past is applied to the hiring process, it will ensure many more years of mediocrity and confirm that Essendon is a club that simply cannot come to grips with the modern ultra-professional realities of league football.
English
@obz3n33 @EFCTrackWatcher Don’t hold your breath mate, i’m waiting for this to happen and then the ‘bring back Hird’ boys will get what they want and maybe have some sense knocked into them how good the recruitings been the last few years compared to the previous decade.
Prepare for catastrophe.
English
For me it's clear Hird has pretty much got the job and it's highly unlikely a credential candidate will apply for the role with Hird in the process, as his mate is also the President.
All I ask is for the club to not run some sham process, if he is the guy, just announced it.
