'Detailed Process': Bombers Go in-House to Pick Coach
The open search will consider 10 to 15 candidates, with Essendon saying the new coach must fit its strategy and development priorities.
- On Friday, Essendon announced its selection panel for the next senior coach, featuring President Andrew Welsh, vice president Anthony Di Pietro, board members Ted Richards and Tim Roberts, and HR executive Caroline Monzon.
- A month after sacking Brad Scott, the Bombers opted to go "in-house" with their selection committee, diverging from Melbourne and Carlton's mixed internal-external approaches to coach recruitment.
- Essendon will interview 10-15 candidates with senior coaching experience or highly rated assistants, with former coach James Hird signaling public interest in the vacant role.
- Reports surfaced this week claiming Dean Solomon was ranked last among five candidates when Scott was appointed, though the club denies Welsh endorsed Solomon for the current role.
- Despite 7,962 days passing since Essendon last won an AFL final, Welsh remains bullish about building the team into a "true powerhouse" under the new coach.
