Yep.
Allan Jeans - Richmond.
Ron Barassi - Sydney.
Malcolm Blight - St Kilda.
Denis Pagan - Carlton.
Mick Malthouse - Carlton.
That's just off the top of my head but I'm sure there's plenty more.

No no, they should absolutely continue doing this. They need to be patient. It just takes time!
Cant believe you left out the "GEISCH " BB
He had the messiah tag heaped on him too till he wasnt .... poor bastard another in the long line of Tiger Tragedies.
Carltons own Robert Walls at the RFC also.
Come to think of it the only real times its worked with a Premiership Coach taking another club to real success that I can think of is Lethal Leigh at the Skunks and Bears, and David Parkin returning to the Blues for the 95 Flag at the same club as opposed to another club.
With regards to Jeans, I think there was an ulterior motive in his hiring.
Club had to have a huge name to replace KB, the club knew it would lose too many supporters by boning him for a lesser light.
Jeans was an old and sick man by then, and he was never seen as the messiah. His stay was one of convenience.
Looks like his shoe laces lackey was having the night off. Kingy to porky to bend down n reach his own feet.
Just read the very first page of this thread, and would like to nominate @Number8 for a lifetime PRE achievement award.
Never before have I seen a poster who so eloquently, but with such brutal comprehensiveness, has embarked on a personal crusade to denigrate an opposition.
You can enjoy the humour of the 'Geelong Cants" thread, the mockery of the "#lolNorf" thread, and the almost mythical self-flagellalistic exploits covered in "The I
Collingwood thread".
But none of it holds a candle to the exploits of @Number8 in this thread.
The quality of their vitriol in espousing hatred of all things Essendon throughout the thread, which might I add @Number8 started, is absolutely first class.
Do yourself a favour and read it from the start. It is a Tour de Force.
I dips me lid.

They later clarified. Ambassadorship can't be offered as part of the initial coaching contract. But once that bits done they can offer a separate ambassadors agreement, same as all clubs apparently are permitted to do.Didn’t they say that wasn’t on not that long ago?
I've heard it argued Walls wasn't exactly a great coach, and that a blind monkey could've coached Carlton to the '87 flag after inheriting such a side.Cant believe you left out the "GEISCH " BB

Some of the stories of his coaching are brutal across the various clubs he led.
Being a hard-arse doesn't always equal a great coach, but I'm neither here nor there on whether Walls could be considered great.
Prefer meeting the cats in a preliminary final and then sydney in the GF, all finals on our deck, well not there’s anyway.
Our own Tommy Hafey was a bee’s appendage away from being a premiership coach at Collingwood but the other one was Ron Barassi who coached two premierships at Carlton and then two at North.Cant believe you left out the "GEISCH " BB

Of course he then went back to Melbourne as coach and was unsuccessful
Both of those a long time ago
Robbo calls it the supplement saga.
Caro calls it the drug scandal.
Robbo epitomises their problem and he completely lacks the self awareness to know it.
If Essendon owned it they would tell Robbo to call it what it is.

And they both failed at the Swans, even though Hafey had that run with the Capper era.
Yep Tommy killed em all at the RFC and couldn't get the Pies Cats or Swans over the line.
Wow. They're truly *smile*. Poor Truck yet another scapegoat of a failed football club.
At the start of the year I thought (feared?) Essendon may have turned the corner. All the talk of knowing they are a way off being contenders and that in this era of drafting, salary caps and the like it takes years to build a team that can contend for the ultimate prize. The noises coming from wherever they hang out now (at the airport from what I read) spoke of a maturity, an understanding of where they really sit in the scheme of things and some semblance of reality when it came to assessing their list and its clear shortcomings.
Aah well, can't say I'm upset. Essendon are back to their usual expectation of wanting to contend next year, or is it next week? Until they learn that it takes a long time to turn around the Titanic they are hopefully going to continue to wallow in their own mediocrity.

Yeah just saw that on FC. Shows Rutten isn't the right coach. Sad but true.
