Interim Essendon coach Dean Solomon insists he is yet to speak with Bombers president Andrew Welsh about the possibility of taking on the senior role permanently.
In his first press conference after Brad Scott was sacked as Bombers coach last month, Solomon declared he would not be seeking the position on a full-time basis.
But a bombshell report this week stated Solomon is Welsh's preferred candidate for the top job, even over James Hird.
But Solomon, who played in Essendon's last premiership back in 2000, is adamant coaching the club beyond this year is not on his radar and is yet to speak with Welsh.
"The club is obviously working behind the scenes about what the next coach would look like, time frames," Solomon said after Essendon's 45-point defeat to Melbourne on Saturday.
