Aberdeen legend Willie Miller has backed St Mirren boss Jim Goodwin to take over the reins at Pittodrie.
Stephen Glass ' spell in the Granite City was brought to an end after a nightmare 11 months with the side languishing in ninth spot in the Scottish Premiership.
Miller has urged chairman Dave Cormack to look to an experienced next boss rather than go down the same path that saw Glass arrive at the club.
He told BBC Sportsound: "I think it's maybe experience that is needed now. It's an experiment that's been trialled, and because Stephen has gone it hasn't worked.
"I think they would be looking at a more experienced manager, and then it's the question of if the chairman and the board can work with an experienced manager.
"I think an experienced manager brings a different challenge to a chairman and board, and might challenge them a bit more.
"If they are willing to embrace that then I think they should.
"Jim Goodwin is a good shout. He is one that should be considered.
"I think he has done a good job and should be considered."
Miller also urged Aberdeen chairman Cormack to review the process of appointing a next boss, insisting the chairman has a "responsibility" to look at mistakes made last time around.
He continued: "It's a decision he has made (Cormack) and he will have his reasons for the decision.
"It was his appointment as well. I think Dave Cormack said they went through a process and said they considered many candidates, and they came that he thought Stephen was the right man for the job.
"An awful lot was made of the process of appointing Stephen. The impression was there was many candidates considered. I think if they get the chance this time they should interview (more).
"Ok maybe restrictions on travel hampered that in the past, but there is a responsibility on the directors and chairman. There is a responsibility to get the right man into the job. That was done and it hasn't worked out.
"There is a now a responsibility to consider the previous process and how you come to that decision to appoint Stephen Glass, who was pretty much untried and untested at this level."
