Essendon and Brad Scott has parted ways after a terrible start to 2026, with only one win from 11 starts.
The Bombers were largely uncompetitive, and despite injury concerns during the Dreamtime at the G clash against Richmond, the loss proved to great for Scott to remain in his job.
But where do they begin to look?
Here are 10 names who could be a part of the Essendon conversation...
Interestingly, a lot of these names would be pushing for the Carlton coaching vacancy while Tasmania looms as they search for its inaugural coach.
Daniel Giansiracusa
Giansiracusa has been working around the league, building his profile and skillset, and is now the head of development at Hawthorn.
The former Bulldog spent the last six years at Essendon in a variety of roles, and was the AFLCA Assistant Coach of the Year in 2020.
He's been around the mark for other senior coaching gigs, such as West Coast and Melbourne.
Giansiracusa spent five seasons with the Bombers in an array of positions, and just departed to join Hawthorn ahead of 2026.
