Gold Coast are reportedly planning an audacious journey to Europe to attempt to safe three-time Richmond premiership coach Damien Hardwick.
The Age is reporting Suns chief govt Mark Evans is planning on interrupting Hardwick’s vacation to supply him a five-year deal to interchange Stuart Dew who they sacked earlier this yr.
It is reported that Hardwick was contacted by the Suns final week to see if he was fascinated with persevering with his profession on the Gold Coast.
Harwick shocked the AFL world when he give up the Tigers in May citing burnout regardless of having a yr and a half remaining on his contract.
“It just all became a little bit too much for me. It was one of those ones where I sort of made the decision that I wasn’t going to be the coach of Richmond next year,” Hardwick stated.
“I made the fatal mistake of watching The Last Dance at some stage (over summer) and thought what may have been, but once that part of the equation started to slip away I started to question myself.
“As soon as I started asking the question I started to understand what the answer was going to be. The best thing for myself was to step aside; if I couldn’t give 100 per cent there was no way I was going to coach this footy club. It gives this footy club the best opportunity to find the next coach.”
Then in June, Hardwick instructed former AFL participant Dylan Buckley on his podcast that he nonetheless had a powerful ardour for the sport.
“I’d be lying if I said I couldn’t see myself doing it. I love it, I miss it. I’ve been out for two weeks and I wanted to miss it, if that makes sense?,” Hardwick instructed the Dyl & Friends podcast.
“I need to decompress for a while, I need to go away, I need to reflect. And figure out things that make me good and things that I can sit there and put me in a dark place, as well.”
