Lions support Noble backflip on North coaching job
A fortnight after saying he was unlikely to entertain the prospect, David Noble is actively engaged with North Melbourne as they search for a new senior coach.
The Brisbane Lions football chief was sounded out by the Kangaroos as part of their hunt to replace Rhyce Shaw who parted ways with North last month because of personal reasons.
Noble declared late last month that he was no longer focused on coaching, aiming instead to become a chief executive officer down the track.
"No, unlikely," he told AFL Trade Radio when asked if he would entertain a call from the Kangaroos about their coaching role.
"I moved ... up here to broaden my skill-set from an admin perspective and would like to see my path is still moving to that CEO role. That's the direction I've clearly taken. I'm heading down that CEO path if I can," Noble said.
