No he wont. Will see the year out.
No coach would walk into this shitstorm so its all good and well to sack him but who would come in?
We cant move forward on the coach until the off field stuff is put to bed
Harvey or Bassett could take over for the rest of the season just like Barker has done with Carlton

Differant circumstances. Would think Barker would have designs on getting the job next year and he is auditioning well so far.
Would Bassett or Harvey be prepared to step in for a couple of months only? They wouldnt want the job next year knowing that 1/2 the side could be rubbed out for 2 years and if things went even more pear shaped this year then they would never get a gig anywhere again. Thats why my view is that Hird stays until the end of season and we get the off fiels crap sorted and start with a clean slate and that includes the board

It won't be ever resolved with Hird coaching regardless of the outcome of the players, if you think otherwise is foolish. How can 3 if not 4 years wasted will ever be acceptable?

The word around the traps is that Bassett is already making the moves anyway.

No, don't sack Hird! Please keep him for at least another 2 weeks.

Melbourne has a fantastic track record of causing opposition meltdowns on talkback radio. Sanderson with Adelaide, Malthouse with Carlton, Hardwick with Richmond.. hell, last year the Essendon lynch mob were baying for Bomber's blood and pleading for the return of their Golden Child to the coaches' box.

If Carlton have any brains they will be right into him too.
Bass wont be at Carlton.
Bass and Trigg have a strong mutual dislike of each other. They both have very large ego's and I cant see either putting this aside, would end in tears very quickly

Not so sure it his him making all the moves. Think there may be people on the board who are pushing his barrow but equally there are board members who dont want him there in any capacity next year. Think there could be some blood spilt before seasons end

Chatter that the Essendonians have turned also.

I can think of two

The great tanned one will coach you, if he gets a five year deal and the coin you would normally pay your assistants with

Then if course there is Ayresy!!!!!

If after 130 years they still haven't clearly defined an 'Essendon way' of doing things, and are apparently beholden to any old random who walks in through the doors and causes a civil war with no opposition whatsoever.... then * 'em. If they don't have a culture by now they never will.

May the blood letting continue. Nice and slowly.
