Bennett to the Eels - ?

[Hindmarshisgod2]

I reckon Bennett would take the challenge to finally get the longest premiership drought club, a premiership. The old merkin loves the accolades

 

[Gronk]

Another man with no hair you parra boys do love that

 

[Cloeel]

But does he have the drive to do what O'Neil or Gus do? They need to do alot of wheeling and dealing I can't see Wayne doing that.

I would have thought his focus would be in the week to week running of the team with BA?

 

[yy_cheng]

Possibly but if was keen to be a director surely he would just naturally transition into that role at the Dolphins? He’s already living in QLD

Maybe he just wants to say ding dong the witch is dead

 

[JokerEel]

I am sure it's just fantasy BS the mole has been reading the forums and keeping headlines for later use when he has nothing else to write about..

Fox Sports reporting it too, but they cite the WWOS article from the OP as its source -

Wayne Bennett linked to Parramatta Eels amid uncertainty over master coach’s future

More chance of the Niners signing Bill Belichick as their defensive coordinator.

I would be happy if it’s true though.

the aggregators at work, one sports site post it so the others just copy for more clicks

I still don't see any "reliable" source for any of this and that includes The Mole.

I expect you to contact the mole and ask for a source or delete his article!

Open the cheque book.

Coaching director or coach, who cares. He can bring a buddy to pass the team off to.

Bennett has at least 5 hairs on that dome!

This witch has been lurking around longer then the one that died in 1981.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Instead of coach or coaching director how about taking over MON?

 

[Avenger]

I think this story is bullshit because Bennett hates shit leaking especially when it is at the expense of a coach still under contract.

Unless of course he is happy with being a coaching director which he could do at the Dolphins and not have to leave his home state.

 

[eels_fan]

Bennett missed out of the Kiwi’s job, they went with Stacey Jones

probably the first time old mate has been knocked back for a job he wants.

might be desperate

 

[eels_fan]

happy with being a coaching director which he could do at the Dolphins and not have to leave his home state.

The dolphins are a decade away from being anything near a premiership team, he might see getting us over the line as the final feather in his cap. He’d win over tens of thousands of fans.

I doubt it will eventuate, but if we have reached out then kudos to the club for realising we may need something different.

Coaching director could probably be managed with a only a couple of days a week in Sydney tbh, he’s not running the team, he’s running the coach

Being a sounding board for them, and probably advising the CEO and Board on candidate to fill vacancies as they arise.

 

[Jake the snake]

If we go down that road you’d assume he’d be the coach not the director. His personality is too big to take a back seat.

As expected
