Roast Who should be our next coach? [melty]

I dont particularly like Kern as a coach, there's a glass ceiling that he hits in prelims because the Port system was suspect off the ball, but it is hard to believe his Essendon would be so regularly spineless. He's also a people person which would help.

He'd be great for a few years. Get the place playing with passion and aggression.

Scott is the first coach since Sheedy's departure to coach four consecutive actual seasons for this club.

Woosha doesn't count (2016 was saga, 2020 was a Rutten succession year).
Woosha counts.

Why do people think it has to be Scott or Hird? Please, there has to be others out there that isn't the guy who ran the entire club into the ground.

I think it's more people think it will be one of them because Essington.

When naming your head coach suggestions, check their Wikipedia page first. If there's a "controversies" or "legal issues" section, they're not the coach for us.

Lachie Neale as a playing coach in the midfield. Bit more controversy, why not

We have two choices in direction.

Someone with previous experience that will make us defend, Simpson, Longmire etc (We should have hired Lyon)

Or someone entirely new that will have us playing modern footy but might struggle with our shit culture.

probably need a combo of the two like Melb did with roos/goodwin. We definitely need a senior head in there as a new coach will be eaten alive by our ex players/coteries/media...but looking at Scott/Lyon/Clarkson atm its pretty clear the game has gone by them and you need someone with fresh ideas.

We talked to Lyon but he was too busy knifing a second coach in his career
