Awkward..
In all seriousness, if anyone read ant555's excellent assessment on where we're at (also on BB), he certainly highlights the deficiencies of our current coaching panel as a whole. Should we continue to go downhill, a revamp with the names mentioned in the rumour would be much stronger IMO, especially re: defensive efforts, midfield structures with the likes of Wellman and Burns. Of course, should the rumour eventuate, the panel would most likely include only some of those names, but even then there would be an improvement. Interesting times.
If the rumour has legs, of course.

Not a chance he'll get the arse after this season. Not with 2 yrs left on his contract.
Funny how things can turn. Doubts were raised on Bailey after round 1 , Ratten after round 3, Ross Lyon in his first year, Kevin Sheedy after first 6 games, Malthouse a couple of seasons ago, Bomber Thompson a year before first premiership etc etc. Even Bomber never had to cope with losing 2 champion forwards and one of his best midfielders.
Knights was earning praise last year, how can he all of a sudden lose his ability? I'm not a fanatic Knights supporter, yes of course he has his deficiencies, but FFS give him this season before these bullshit rumours. It's not going to help the team.

This s**t can't be good if the board is going behind his back, I think it's crap anyway.
Lol at everyone getting their hopes up already, has about 5% chance of being true, gotta love internet rumors.

God let this be true.
Will probably get the senior coaching job at Port when Choco comes to Essendon.

admit it you love it if it was true
I'm hoping Knights makes it, and not really sold on Chocco
Where's Hodge2Franklin's optimism when we need it

Sounds more like an anti Knights person within the club spreading some rumours to destabilise the situation.
The situation might become dire if we lose to Hawthorn. We then have Port at home and a loss to a spasmodic interstate team at home might just do it. Or we win both and we're all back on the Knights wagon.

He saw Knights coming like he saw Clarkson coming. Hope he sees Knights leaving like he sees Clarkson leaving.

In simplistic terms it could be win-win, really.
The rumour (which is sure to hit the papers) could be the catalyst for our turnaround with Knights at the helm, coaching for his job. We love a bit of adversity. OR, if true and things progress as they are, we could get an adequate replacement.
Or so says the optimist* in me.
*The pessimist would fear the potential instability that could result from such rumours.
