I really find it quite pathetic that prospective coaches are being โscared awayโ from the process because James Hird has applied and they are exerting pressure for the club to not interview him so these gutless wonders can have a free run. Make no mistake the perceived โtop linersโ will NOT be entering the process unless they have been given an undertaking they will get the job. They will not just enter the โprocessโ and hope to win because if they lose their brand is significantly diminished. James is happy to go head to head with anyone and let the club decide, unfortunately the other pussies want a more guaranteed outcome. If I was Essendon Iโd welcome their application, give no guarantees and see how the interview process pans out. If they ask if Hird is going to get the nod Iโd just tell them โIf James Hird is the best candidate through the process of course he willโฆ..are you doubting your credentials against his? If so youโre probably not the right person for the gigโ.
What is all of this James Hird paranoia about? Personally Iโd select him immediately. Heโs an outstanding candidate with great experience and knowledge. Hinkley wouldnโt compete with Hird thatโs why heโs taking his precious stance. Hinkley and Simpson are trying to manipulate the process. Just make a decisionโฆ..one is yes Iโm in the other is no Iโm not. You canโt have it both ways by saying Iโll nominate if you delete Hirds application. Iโm a Hird fan. Couldnโt give a stuff about the past (which is a whole suspicious story in itself by AFL) Iโm only interested in the very best person to lift the club out of the mire and return it to respect and success - and thatโs James Hird.
The ferretโs will come hard now.
