Should have announced it on grand final day.

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

Tassie job is his

 

[voorhees]

God Damm .. thats out of the blue
time off or something else brewing?

 

[Bugs1977]

Will be interesting to see if / what domino effect this has for other clubs

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Thank goodness twice butten but that was the third time in GF day.

 

[Harris Specter]

For the stat tragics, would this be the first time in history that a coach that has won the minor premiership quits the same year?

 

[Dazb86]

Extremely strange timing.

Tassie bound?

 

[1923]

Big Cox taking over from Horse would be fitting.

Malthouse 2011 - though he didn’t quit per se.

Ken Hinkley outlasts another one.

 

[voorhees]

respect where respect is due
fantastic career both on field and in the coaching box
a calm man who always held himself like a professional
best of luck with his next chapter

He’s a total cockroach. He’ll still be kicking around long after all of us are gone.

 

[CakeEater]

Sad to see him gone, hes been a good coach for the Dockers................

in all seriousness, all the best John

 

[rdhopkins2]

The Horse is set to gallop!
All the best.

On his terms surely, you don't leave like this unless you need to or you've done something criminal

Allan Joyce stood down after winning the premiership double in 1988 for Allan Jeans to return in 1989.

He may well have real realized that he’s gotten all that he can out of the group.

That or health issue were my first guesses

They clearly have the succession plan in place with Cox, hence why he didn’t take the WCE job. It was either fast tracked by the Swans, or Longmire walked early so it didn’t get messy. Gives him time to line up another job (maybe Tassie).

 

[SSSSSS]

Didn't see this coming at all.
