Paul Roos
Roos once ruled out the idea of returning to coaching following his departure from Sydney in 2010, but went on to sign for Melbourne three years later.
His time with the Demons marred his coaching portfolio going on to end his time at the club with a 21-45 record.
Since retiring from coaching at an AFL level, Roos has enjoyed his time within the media and was appointed to coach the Swans' academy side shortly after leaving Melbourne. Roos' time in the development at both Sydney and Melbourne who find a smooth fit into the Kangaroos' young, growing list.
The club has longed for the right coach to get the best out of their youth and Roos' history would dictate a strong means for the Kangaroos.
North Melbourne might struggle to reignite Roos' thirst to return to coaching, but with a lucrative offer and two to three spots available to sign high profile players, he'd have to be tempted.
