From the AFL website:
‘Longmire announced his decision on Tuesday after 14 seasons in the role, with West Coast legend Cox to replace him as senior coach. Longmire will remain at the club in the new role of executive director of club performance.
The 53-year-old said he had begun discussing his departure from the senior coaching role with CEO Tom Harley and chairman Andrew Pridham more than a year ago, but had only made the final decision in recent weeks.’
That should go really well for Sydney. Getting belted in the (another) GF and appointing the former coach of 14 years as ED of club performance. I’m sure Cox will enjoy having Longmire looking over his shoulder.
