The truth of the matter is that all of those other clubs engaged external consultants/committes to headhunt candidates and develop a shortlist and, from what we have been told, he wasn't approached. He could have applied anyway I suppose but it suggests (to me) that only one season on from being the hottest coaching commodity on the market, other clubs aren't particularly interested in Sydney's negative style of play anymore (whether it's a perceived style or not). Ross Lyon's tough run at St Kilda has hardly been a ringing endorsement and other clubs just don't seem to want their teams to play footy like we do.

As for who should take over post-Roos. I don't care if Longmire is currently being groomed for the role with the consent of the Board or not. The Swans Board has an obligation to everyone involved with the Club to get the best possible coach from whomever's available and interested. That can only mean a GENUINE and open sweeping recruitment process run by people who know what they are doing. Simply gifting the job to anyone would be just plain wrong and dangerous.
Agree 100%

Nathan Buckley looks a good candidate to me.

Nothing but respect for him as a player and sounds like he has the genuine footy smarts to me when he is commentating.
pretty sure buckley's being groomed for either a coaching or management job with the pies

I believe Buckley is alot like M.Voss both smart and were great captains. Buckley wouldn't be a bad replacement Voss got a job {Still pending though} and Buckley also deserves one.

Oh and
