Yep, Hardwick is a legend, but there is the small matter of the great Tommy Hafey winning four flags as Richmond coach to consider.
I thought I when Dimma steps down, hopefully after a few more flags and many years in the future, that it would be nice if one of his players steps in. I think Cotch and Rance would make great coaches.
His interview on the Talking Footy show after 2016 season or end of 17season (I forget) was a great insight. The changes he made personally in being a better coach & manner on how he leads. His willingness to throw away everything and restart was a massive gamble and it worked. Trusted those around him & deligated.
Was a fan for many years of him, lost me during the 16 season and was frustrated the way he coached & even wanted him gone or gone early in 17 if he could not show change (glad to be wrong too). So rapt to have him as a coach now. he is still young and hopefully have him for a long time to come.
On a lighter note, RFC let EFC have Sheedy got them 4 premierships. Now we have EFC's Dimma. He got us 2! Hmm 2 more needed Dimma
LOL 
It’s well known Dimma has been a flag magnet ie Richmond coach 2017, 2019. Hawthorn assistant coach 2008, Port Power player 2004, Essendon 2000 but I didn’t know his magnetism went back as far back as 1991:

So Dan is getting on in Corporate life and therefore potential future Richmond CEO
George would have to be a more erratic and unpredictable Club President than Kennett, Kochi and John Elliott combined! He would leave the rest of the comp in his wake and leave AFL House completely dumbfounded.
He has all the attributes to be our next CEO. Knows footy, a best and fairest, articulate and a Tiger through and through
