People, stop mentioning Hird, he will never coach an AFL side
Give it a rest, seriously, why would you want someone who has no passion for coaching to take over?
No many superstar players go on to be great coaches, usually because they had all the talent come to them naturally and they didn't have to work as hard to succeed. You want a coach who can instill a good work ethic into a side and the star players often don't have that in them to pass on to others.
