had met with Tasmania about a move south<\/a> to be the inaugural coach of the Devils, but he has ruled out the Bombers and Blues as a landing spot.<\/p>\nLongmire said on AFL 360 the Tasmania process had clarified he was not ready to re-enter the coaching ranks in 2027.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be staying here in Sydney and focused on the business that we\u2019re building here that\u2019s going really well and got great potential,\u201d he said on AFL 360.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was asking more questions about them (Tasmania) than they were asking about me, and I think that told me more than anything where I sat.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt certainly became clear over time where I sat with my coaching at the moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo I\u2019m not (ready to coach again). I certainly explored it, I went down the path, I looked at it seriously, there\u2019s no question with that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tasmania ultimately chose Ken Hinkley as its inaugural coach, having narrowed the search to the former Power coach, Longmire and Nathan Buckley.<\/p>\n
Former West Coast coach Adam Simpson is on the coaching selection panel at Carlton, and said on AFL 360 the process was heating up at IKON Park.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re catching up this week, just to go through what the final numbers look like, and then we get going in the next month or so,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt starts this week \u2026 obviously the list is getting whittled down \u2026 by the time I get in front of them it\u2019s the real stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"John Longmire will not coach at either Carlton or Essendon in 2027 and will remain in Sydney.
