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

I’m on record in this thread saying perhaps the bombers need to appoint Hird in order to get him out of their system. However I do wonder how players may react when things get willing.
If Hird is trying to give messages of drive and resilience and says things like “don’t take the easy way out” or “you’ve got to be prepared to put in the hard yards” I can see some players thinking “Aren’t you the guy who doped up his team in order to get them to win?”. Some AFL players aren’t backwards in coming forwards and when pushed and questioned will push back - I just wonder what he would say to a player who gave voice to such a question.

Although I just read something that said Brad Scott was the 4th person being interviewed
Do you honestly think if he gets the job it will be because he's the best candidate?
Even if you exclude the drugs scandal (which you shouldn't), he was a coach with a mediocre record who hasn't coached in 7 years. There is zero chance he's the best candidate.
Hirds biggest strength is building relationships and inspiring people gws players couldn't stop raving about him they loved him.
Not syaing we get Hird but thats kind of coach Essendon needs right now. Hird had the players playing for the jumper something Worsfold and Rutten failed to do.
Possibly had a few more runs on the board than James Albert. You know with 4 premierships and respect and stuff.

His biggest strength was not keeping/destroying records of the drugs he had injected into his players.
Didn't stop them the first time. Its the gift that keeps on giving
The same GWS that finished 3rd last?
What if Lewis and Walls deem Hird as the best candiate would Hird still cope the back lash from fans?

Geewizz... have to admire his resilience, and gall, in applying for a head coaching position after the PED scandal he oversaw and tried to hide from the chief medic, and for which he kept no records, and after the second disastrous coaching stint. Even Jesus Christ hasn't yet dared a second coming after 2 millennia, and here is James after ... 8 years....
I am reminded of my recurring HERPES which rears its scaly head every so often reminding me of my reprobate past and Belinda the tightend at the female rugby side at St. Helen's all those years ago.
James Herpes Hird.

See you on the 9th green at 9
Isn’t the weirdest part that Essendon INVITED a guy with an awful coaching record who hasn't coached in almost 10 years to interview.
What kind of process is this?

Pre-saga Hird I’d agree. Post saga you may still be right but I don’t see the alpha bulls in the GWS that I see at and that may land at Essendon.
If the panel are fairdinkum then I think that’s the scenario or even the straight out question they need to put to him because of he gets it he’s going to come into the job with this hanging over him. It won’t matter what media or those outside think about him - that’s just piss and wind - it’s the first to third year players who are yet to truly buy into the Essendon family that will have questions about their coaches ability to tough it out.
Of course, my opinion (and piss and wind) only.

Please make this happen
Absolute insanity that he is even being considered.
Imagine if the Crows sent the team on another camp by collective minds....
This is what signing up hird again is like....

It’s like that time when I was managing a major hotel. I endangered the lives of the employees in my care, took no responsibility for my actions, destroyed the reputation of my employer, and financially ruined the hotel. I was given a second chance by the hotel.

If Hird is appointed i can see a few gws players coming over
Imagine you get Isaac rankine and then first thing is take him out in the woods, strip him naked and tie him to a tree.. that's basically what Essendon are doing
Yes mate, Shane Mumford is coming out of retirement with Phil Davis down to tulla to heard the brilliant words of the man with the golden hair
