Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
THE MAN regarded as the favourite for the Brisbane Lions and Melbourne coaching jobs, Paul Roos, has told both clubs he is "definitively not interested" in taking the roles on next season.Roos said being linked to coaching vacancies did get him thinking about a return to the coach's box, which in turn simply convinced him he was not ready to embrace that all-consuming lifestyle."When I finished at Sydney it was for good," Roos said. "To coach again is a long, long road to travel to get back to a position where you'd want to do it. So it would require a major change in mindset."Both clubs hope he will change his mind, with Lions chairman Angus Johnson contacting Roos yesterday about the vacant position."Clearly through the process you start thinking about coaching again, but if the question is put to me, 'Will you coach Melbourne?' or 'Will you coach Brisbane?' the answer is no at this particular time.""You wonder about things like 'What would it look like? Would you move interstate?' those sorts of things," Roos said. "But I'm nowhere near 100 per cent certain I want to coach again, and I think you absolutely have to be 100 per cent to do it."http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/paul-roos-tells-brisbane-lions-and-melbourne-hes-not-interested-in-either-coaching-job/story-fni5f22o-1226698787702
Sounds like Roos is keeping his options open just in case if Hird gets the flick at Essendon .
