Saints Interview Longmire, McKenna and Bond For Coaching Position
The St. Kilda football club need to get a coach soon, as a new coach will want to have a say in what happens during trading and the drafts. They are conducting interviews today and a likely successor to Thomas is probably John Longmire or Guy McKenna, Chris Bond is also a chance.
Longmire has been assisting Roos with the Swans and that recent success should make him favourite. McKenna is following Worsfold and moving from the Eagles halfback line into coaching, he has experience as a player in Grand Finals and is also an assistant at Collingwood.
Having a former key forward in Longmire as coach should help the Saints get the best out of their great forwards Riewoldt and Gehrig. Longmire has not only been with Sydney when they were winning, but he was a part of the Kangaroos as a player when they were a force during the 1990s. A Grand Final winning assistant coach, a star key position player with experience at both ends of the field, right now it looks like Longmire is the frontrunner to be coach of the Saints.
