Essendon sacks head coach Brad Scott after a prolonged period of poor results, according to multiple reports. The decision follows a season in which the club wins only once in 25 weeks. The sources agree that the move is a response to the team’s inability to secure consistent form over an extended span, prompting management to change direction.
While details of any interim coaching arrangement or the terms of Scott’s departure are not provided in the shared summaries, all outlets report the same core outcome: Scott is dismissed by Essendon as head coach. The reports also align on the central performance metric cited in justification for the change—one win in 25 weeks—suggesting the club’s position has not improved sufficiently to retain him.
The dismissals come as Essendon seeks to reset its coaching setup and improve on-field performance, though the outlets’ brief accounts do not specify a replacement or timing for the next appointment.
