Interim Coach Solomon 'Won't Consider' Bombers Job
Solomon denied discussing Brad Scott’s future with Essendon’s board and said he will not chase the full-time coaching job this season.
- Interim Essendon coach Dean Solomon rejected claims he informed the board about Brad Scott's performance, denying any discussions with club president Andrew Welsh this year.
- The Bombers sacked Scott on Monday after winning just one game in 2026; Solomon, a former director, said he had no influence on the board's decision.
- When asked directly on Thursday whether he discussed Scott's performance with Welsh, Solomon was adamant: "Not at all, not one bit." He stated he respected Brad as a player and coach.
- With momentum building for James Hird to return after his Tuesday declaration, Solomon ruled himself out for the full-time role, saying, "I won't even consider that."
- Solomon rejected the notion an "Essendon person" needs to coach the club, stating, "You don't have to be an Essendon person to coach this club," citing successful examples.
