I'm sure the bloke who has hardly coached at any level in the last decade will be the one to lead us from the wilderness

Maybe wait until he’s highly praised over many seasons as an assistant and also coaches a VFL side to a flag or two first

While we're going through torture with brad scott at the helm

We’ve been doing the same shit for a decade under like five different coaches, surely at some point you have to twig that maybe the coach isn’t the issue (or at least not the biggest one)

If anything he has too much experience. Next guy should be an unproven rookie, and then Hird can lead us to the promised land after that.

 

[Mootsy]

Scottie Pippen?

Next person who suggests James Hird as our next coach will get an explanation as how incredibly stupid that is, and they are, for even suggesting it as a possibility.

this is a brilliantly bumped thread, albeit for the wrong reason

maybe we can get michael voss in a few years if he fails to do anything at carlton, the essendon way

Would be better than the last bloke you suggested.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Mods - Can we get a poll for Hird going?

least we'd make finals with hird than scott

No, we wouldn't. Hire was a shit coach who gets overrated by our fanbase because he's a legend of our club. He had 5 AA quality defenders and we were the worst team defensively in the top 12 every time he was coach.

NO

 

[doug85]

I’m all in on Hirdy. Act now before Port Melbourne swoop in!

Pros: was once our best player, has senior coaching experience, an astute business man, has the support of influential club figures such as Kevin Sheedy and Dodoro.

Cons: nil

GET IT DONE DODO

 

[div12ressie]

Pros: Was a lot more exciting watching us play than the past 10 years

 

[thepokey]

Everyone that wants Hird back should launch themselves into the sun

He had a young squad (avg age of 23, fletcher inc) and in his first year of coaching

i’d like to nominate Brian Goorjian
