he hasn't got the job yet, but he has just about got it all wrapped up. it wanted him to coach the club in the future and when he was ready. i believe as someone else has said, the club might go with him to get back those disgruntled fans after the debacle with knights. good luck jimmy, you are going to need it
200 posts in a couple of hours says otherwise. Bemusement doesn't do that
It certainly does and it certainly has. Don't kid yourself.
Why would you use 2 coaches from a different era to make your point. Desperate to make a point? It could be done then. Modern game, and management is alot different as you would know.

Still love my sig!!
You do realise bombersno.1 is seen as an idiot even on the Essendon board. Quoting him is like quoting Sarah Palin on politics.

My opinion isn't much different to quite a lot of Essendon supporters who are questioning if Hird is the right man for the job.you signature is just so apt for the opinions of yourself and opposition supporters in this thread
Time will tell, indeed.
Plenty of people thought Knights wasn't the right decision at the time, yet any opposition supporters who voiced that opinion on here were called 'trolls' then, as well.

....
I think I could find supporters of a few teams who still hate us.
Risky yes - ridiculous - only time will tell. You seem fairly certain a coach will fail before they even have the job. That to me is ridiculous.
Knights didn't have the right gameplan - and the parts he was supposed to implement this year he failed miserably.
Don't have to rate our list - but it is not as bad as our reults reflect - Knights lost the players mid-season - and with that his job.
I think it's great for Essendon to have a favourite son come back to Coach.
Be interesting to see how he goes over the next few years. Personally, would of liked to have seen him be assistant coach somewhere else for a year or two, but that's just me. If he can have Williams/Laidley around him, no reason he can't succeed.

Harden up.
I'm entitled to an opinion on this board, just like anyone else, even if it's not polishing the shoes of your great white hope.
How funny. Another using coaches from another era to boost their argument. How desperate!!!! Throw in Jock McHale while you're at it.
Not everyone is guaranteed to make it, including long time assistants, but Shaw, Voss, Watson tell you that untried one's tend to struggle. You have Choco and Laidley applying. Surely Essendon's not going to make them assistants to an untried coach when they just could've hired one of them outright for the senior job. Seems they are....lol!!!!! Essendon go from one disaster to another with this group in power.
I really enjoy watching people rationalise to make their point. It's good for a real laugh.
This is a big surprise if you ask me. I thought the wisest move would've been to put Hird on the coaching payroll, and let a Chris Scott or whoever take charge. But to give Hird the highest stool straight off the bat. - Massive call! I'd be feeling gun-shy if I was at Essendon. Sure it's romantic on paper, but without the experience behind him they risk creating a Voss 2.0
no it doesn't. Don't kid yourself

He'll be a good coach for Essendon. Will certainly sell some memberships.

Knights had experience, how did that turn out? He was ****ing useless, was worth finishing 14th and spending $1m to get rid of that richmond cancer out of the club
