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

Great record of Dimmers to start his coaching career don't you think?

Here’s the difference
Hardwick helped transform the old, unprofessional Richmond into the club you see today. Even when we stagnated and went backwards for a bit, he wasn’t damaging the club.
Hird, on the other hand, knowingly allowed a reckless drug program to occur that eventually nearly tore your club apart.
And still didn’t get any results whatsoever.

I reckon the person who is most likely to be a 12 year old is the one who can't spell

It truly is a shame that Hardwick is not a 230 game Essendon coach.

For Essendon to instead go for Knights and then Hird is not only laughable, it's incompetent.

Essendon would have had a relatively successful, and cheaper last 10 years.

Not sure, Essendon's list management is starting make Tambling > Franklin, as a good idea !!!

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

You hird it here first - Hirdy will take over from Clarko at Hawthorn in 2020. Piss trough whispers, and they be LOUD.

Still better than Mitch Thorp > Jack Riewoldt.

You left out Bomber Thompson.

 

[Black Stripe]

Jungle drums may start beating for Hird to return to Essendon as head coach.

The outrage generated may actually be more entertaining than our season of football.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

At least players gave a **** under Hird.

 

[Masher]

Hird, Bomber and Dank to bring them back to greatness

That's a bit unfair imo Hardwick was on the verge on getting sacked before the Tigers won a flag it's not like the Tigers picked some coaching guru that no one else knew about.

Didn't seem like it when they kept losing while he was still coach.

 

[Black Stripe]

For all of Hird's faults you can't deny players loved playing him.

When he took over as coach at the end of 2010 the Essendon list was widely recognised as being the worst in the league, he got the best out of a rubbish list.

We nee a coach like that

I don't get that with Worsfold just too calm and bland doesn't instil any passion where you would bust a nut for him.

 

[Mootsy]

All we are saying...is give Hird a chance.

*3rd chance

It must be bad if essendon supporters want Hird back.

The current Essendon list is the best list they've had since the early 2000's and Worsfold just isn't the right man.

If Hird was coach of this list he would have them pushing top 4 and being a serious premiership contender.

Agree with the first part

the second....im less sure about.
but a modern coach is something we need. Either hand it to Rutten and demote Woosha, or start tapping up Caracella.

And in return the players were given **** under Hird.
