appointed as assistant coach at the Western Bulldogs, out of the running for Essendon job
28/9 Brad Scott to be interviewed on Thursday
29/9

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

How wasn't the process followed?

EDIT - Apologies, didn't see the end of the previous GIF til now, you're not an idiot, but you missed my joke/sarcasm.

 

[The Prosecutor]

How wasn't the process followed?

I mean, he was interviewed once and hired within a couple of hours of it.

Reeks of the Worsfold appointment 'process' which pissed the likes of Choco off.

 

[dank420_]

The coach I wanted.

Therefor, I have the best opinion.

Better luck next time suckazzzz

 

[footyfanatic111]

It’s happening isn’t it?

 

[Petrify]

Hird conspiracy theorists in shambles

How long after you interview someone should you wait?

Wasn't the Choco snub when we hired Hird not Woosh?

 

[andleanback]

Well the process always was experienced coaches would skip the first step. Once he interviewed/ say a don pyke. They would then be making their decision if they were a better fit over yze/hird.

 

[yodellinhank]

The coach I wanted.

Therefor, I have the best opinion.

Yeah, well you should hold off the early crow until Hird is ruled out from an assistant role

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Is that right?

 

[Mercurial89]

Hird conspiracy theorists in shambles

I'm not sure the club could force him not to coach, he should just rock up in the box and start coaching anyway.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

How long after you interview someone should you wait?

Yep, in my experience on recruitment panels if one candidate has been clearly the strongest everyone knows almost immediately.

 

[dank420_]

Yeah, well you should hold off the early crow until Hird is ruled out from an assistant role

I actually wouldn't mind Hird as assistant... It may drive Scott to make sure he's good

Is that right?

View attachment 1521441

Goddamnit. That was when the old poll was up. I also voted for Noble

 

[naraku]

If true, Scott (or Lyon) is the experienced coach I was hoping for if we had gone that route.

So, personally I am happy.

 

[The Prosecutor]

How long after you interview someone should you wait?

3 days, 21 hours and 47 minutes.

Or 5 minutes after you excuse yourself from the interview to gain some post-nut clarity.

 

[Keystone agony]

If the process was just an interview then so be it

They shouldnt have come out with this big list of things for the process

But weve landed at the right person

Hope he can bring across some good assistants that i named previously that he has ties to. Would be happy with all or any of them

At least until the door is closed behind them...

 

[jmoo wan]

Yep, in my experience on recruitment panels if one candidate has been clearly the strongest everyone knows almost immediately.

it then takes HR days to get their s**t together and organise a contract.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Goddamnit. That was when the old poll was up. I also voted for Noble

Scott is one of the few who I think could handle Hird as assistant. But I'd prefer Hird went elsewhere to get experience if he's serious.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

it then takes HR days to get their s**t together and organise a contract.

Wow only days, your place must be efficient.

ROFL at “tha process”

Clarko do you want the job?

No

Ross do you want the job?

No

Leon do you want job?

No

Don do you want the job?

No

Chris’ brother, do you want the job?

Yeah ok

 

[Koopa]

Excellent process

(Stolen from Twitter)

Happy, no, overjoyed it’s not you know who. Good luck Scotty.

Feeling a similar way, ambivalent, but also satisfied we've made a somewhat safe pick.

get a grip lmao, they interviewed a number of candidates (multiple times in some cases) over a few weeks), and i would imagine they had someone (yze by the sounds of it) lined up depending on how scott presented.

 

[Don Won]

Brad Scott’s presentation. ‘I think you guys are great, doing everything beautifully, great list, solid decisive management…’

‘You’re hired’

 

[Zach Package]

This does nothing for our credibility and he’s almost certainly only a bridging coach but it will certainly be compelling viewing.

The overarching theme for Brad Scott coached teams were that they basically almost always overachieved relative to talent and resources and he had no issues sticking his neck out.

Ironically he would benefit massively from someone like a Rutten, Yze or Chaplin as a defensive line coach.
