Kevin Sheedy responds to bombshell James Hird coaching claims

Kevin Sheedy thinks James Hird will coach again in the AFL, but he’s unsure whether it will be at Essendon.
3AW’s Caroline Wilson reported former Essendon chairman Paul Little wanted to return to the club’s board, and also see past coach Hird return to his coaching role following his messy exit from the club in the aftermath of the supplements saga.
Former Essendon board member Kevin Sheedy shared his thoughts on the claim with Tony Jones on 3AW Drive.

The Bombers legend argued Brad Scott is currently under contract and should be given time in the role “give him time”.
“(The president) backed him in and there is nothing more confident then the president backing you in as coach,” he said on 3AW.
Sheedy has previously been vocal about his desire for Hird to return as head coach at Essendon.
