Richmond coaching race down to 2 - Hardwick and Hinkley [confirmed]

[mightytiges]

Caro said she doesn't know who has got it as to her knowledge before she arrived at 3aw she believes the candidate themself doesn't know yet. Healy said he'd be surprised if the winning candidate doesn't know tonight. Caro thinks as she has all along that Hardwick is favourite and would be surprised if he didn't get it but she doesn't know.

scooty on PRE thinks it might be Hird.

Can confirm this.
Ken Hinkley has told Brian Cook at Geelong  yesterday that RFC is going to offer the position to Hardwick.
Its up to Hardwick to accept the position it seems.

Bump, will be offered on Wednesday

I'm sorry but I refuse to believe anyone who quotes their own posts.
You are taking a 50/50 shot at it Jackstar, admit it.

Serious question Ramps

Whoever gets the gig will get 3 years I reckon, how long into those 3 years do you give them before you really start to question if they are the right person?

2 years

I was thinking more along the lines of 11 weeks myself

Finey on SEN saying they know for a "fact" who the new coach is and will be announcing it after the ad break.

11 WEEKS could be right if he doesnt get the axe out and starts chopping the list. In the end, if he doesnt go through the joint then the players will do to him what theyve done to every other coach over the last 20 years. Its him or then and as a former PM used to say- "Always Back Self Interest" Hardwick should use this as his philosophy over the next 3 months. Get rid of the crap and start again. In 11 weeks we will know.

Agree Ramps. Let's hope Craig Cameron is on the same page as Hardwick regarding the above and FJ can deliver at the draft table the type of players we need (a big key forward and more solid classy ballwinners in the midfield).
