What other coach in the NRL has had the same assistant coach for 9 seasons? None.
What other assistant coach has been at the same club for 9 seasons? None
Every other club (whether strong or not) has turned over all of their assistants in that time. How many assistants have the Roosters and Storm had in 9 years with the same head coach?
He should have been turned over long ago, but because he is a Neville Nobody, it is likely he can't get any sort of gig anywhere else, so he just keeps begging for a job here.
It appears that even when he is being replaced he will still get a gig here, primarily I'd say because we don't want him to be unemployed. No one else seems interested in him, why have we for so long?
