I have just felt that he should have immediately stepped down when he was shocked to be sitting there or at least after the Ziggy report. It would have been the best thing to do for himself and the club. Let's face it, no other coach would have survived this saga. Everyone agrees that Knights would have gone in a split second. Ok, we can debate how bad a coach he was, but the point is there is a standard anyone must adhere to when being the coach. You really take on the responsibility of team excellence. Once you have a major breach in those standards you have to go. If you stay you put yourself in a position to be crucified whether you deserve it or not.More I looked into it, the more I felt Hird has been really crucified here, so as much as initially I had no feelings one way or the other that is not the way I feel now.
