Coach James Hird - is it time to give him a second chance at coaching an AFL club? Gil says yes!

I too wouldn't have sex with him.

Anyone with common sense would assume Hird wouldnt make the same mistake again, in any case its clear he still needs to redeem himself in some way but im sure clubs arent scared to hire him in some capacity since his actual knowledge on football is so high.

Depends on what he thinks his mistake was. At the moment it seems he thinks the mistake was getting caught and doesn't believe what they did was wrong.

Link?

Link?

Do I really need a link for his entire behaviour through the whole supplements saga?

Oh okay so it's just your feels.

Play on.

LMAO, you really think he would have apologised if he won the court case.

Are we forgetting he was a shit coach

I'd have sex with you to have sex with him

Probably the reason he was such a great head coach

Thanks for comfirming he apologised.

I'd have sex with you just because. I mean, who wouldn't? You're a sexy guy.

You needed confirmation, are you that insecure?

 

[Jaeger]

Why don't Essendon bring him back?
Surely he would be better than any of their current assistants? Most of them seem pretty uninspiring - Skipworth, Harvey, Kelly, Rutten and others I've never heard of.

Then they could orchestrate a transition for him to succeed Worsfold in a year or two.

Sheedy would've only put it on the agenda because Hird wants to get back into coaching.

The bombers chairman has said Hird is welcome at Essendon.
Weird that they haven't.

There is his problem. Right out of Fat Andy's book of "Its not my fault Guvnor its someone else's"

George Pell - is it time to give him a second chance at hanging out with altar boys in the sacristy after mass?

Well if we think so then we may as well get James Hird coaching again!

Really? 3 finals in 4 years. Not too bad ay.

 

[Topkent]

How is this still up for discussion?
Could you imagine the media storm if he turned up at a club? Forget about whether or not he can coach but imagine the media frenzy at his signing. All of the articles that have nothing to do with footy about your club. The massive build up to the Essendon game all for an assistant coach? It's not even close to worth it

 

[Beerfish]

Personally I'm disappointed we're not at 30 pages towards the end of the week.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

If he's not good enough for Essendon, why would any other club, bar probably North, the Suns and the Saints, bother?

 

[QuietB]

Cute. Did he win one?

 

[Deliverance]

Off the back of Matty Knights' list build. Then Hird ****ed it all up and destroyed careers.

You'll get it there. Every second post is yours.

Its strange the the vast majority of Hirds supporters in this argument are dons fans.....he really hurt your club as coach, set them back and disgraced them. Sure I understand what he did as a player for ya`s, he was a fantastic player a true great but the man brought the sport and particularly your club into absolute shame.

I know people will snap back at me with Cousins related material, and whilst as a player I loved (and always will love him), what he did to our club makes me really angry and ashamed, I hope he gets help (speaking as a caring person) but he hurt our club and I think the Eagles and the broader AFL community have done as much as they could to help him, its up to him now, plus as bad and out of control as cuz was he didnt systematically cheat.

Ipso facto I wouldve though the people least likely to want to see Hird back amongst the coaching circuit would be Dons fans.

This is actually the best pro-Hird point made in the thread.

Most think he was framed or was the fall guy etc. I am married to the enemy (a Bomber). She’s okay on all things Hird but some of her family on this issue are ....a bit bonkers. Worse than climate change deniers
