Dean Young Defensive coach

[possm]

cant see anyone teaching Sloane, even the wizard of oz cant give him a heart

Sloan should go the same route as Quinlan and Dufty, over to Super League. He will realize success over three.

Head coach is responsible for everything
If he doesnt think Young is up to it sack him

Dean Young's father and Peter Doust are the prime backroom deal makers and still have influence over the BOD. It seems to me that a deal has been made to promote D Young to NRL head coach. It is just a matter of time.

That was the reaction, but I still argue its unfounded. Why didn't they put him in instead of Griffin? Why didn't they put him in instead of Flanagan?

Because they didn't want Dean Young to fail and knew he wasn't ready at the time. I imagine that now they want Flanno to build a strong team and then let Dean to take over with a better opportunity for success.

Well in that case it would be the first sign of proactivity in the club for a decade. I still don't buy it though - the club have had ample opportunity to put him in that position and haven't done so.

I dont see Flannagan Been a better Coach ATM, unless he ditches his son and concentrates on creating a top 4 team.
Dragging his son behind will be his down fall, fall on his own sword so to speak!

You kidding
The guy has Been part of the Stateof origin coaching staff for two years in a row that won the series last year and is 1-0 up this year
So while one bloke is in the box learning from the elite like Bellamy the other is watching the game from his lounge chair
You tell me what Flano is head coach for?
No more to be said

Fair dinkum, some other posters were talking up last week that we had the least amount of missed tackles in the comp. I guess that sort of stat has nothing to do with DY as defensive coach but the next week when we get done by 50, sack DY!

The buck stops with the head coach, this is just a ridiculous thread to deflect blame from Fraudagan.

This is actually incorrect that Dean Young was a part of last years state of origin high performance coaching staff. It says on the NSW RL website that it was John Cartwright, Matt King and Brett White with Michael Maguire. Even though he might be a part of Laurie Daley’s team now why wouldn’t all of what Dean Young has been exposed to in the representative arena been translated to our defensive structures at the Dragons? I understand we have a lot of youngsters in our squad that are learning but we also have several senior players that could be influenced by Dean Young’s experience and position of defensive coach within the NSW team. Before Dean left the Cowboys in 2023 where he was the defensive coach the Cowboys finished 11th and there for and against was 546 for and 542 against. So Dean Young can’t take any credit for last years SOO series win and to suggest Dean had an impact on the game a week and a half ago is a stretch. The majority of players for NSW this year were picked from last year’s squad and won the first game due to their experiences together from last year’s series.

i stand corrected about last year
But he is there this year
»This is where you want to be - at the biggest games - and I feel very privileged to be working with the best and most elite players in the game,” Young said
Daley has bought in those who he thinks are the elite as players and coaches and game 1 produced the results
Dean is not just a defence coach
So I ask you,what is Flanos coaching role In this team?
Does he have any responsibility for the result of yesterday?
Sometimes I think lots of people on here think Flano is always the defensible coach and poor Dean is ONLY the defensive coach

If the dolphins game over 56 . 6 points thrashing doest prove that it's not working with the Flanno & Young combo well another season not playing finals has just begun.

People calling for a coaching shake up should also include a REALISTIC COACHING IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTION in their post. And please, not untested "coaches" like Josh Hannay. The last few years have shown us a plethora of wonderful assistant coaches who turned out to be absolute failures as Head coaches. Barrett, Price, Stone, Demetriou, O'Brien, Holbrook......

 

[Dragonslayer]

I think Dezi is on very shaky ground at the Titans, so, imo, he will be first to go.

Therefore, wouldn't it be presumed that DY would be 1st choice replacement? I mean he's the SAC at our club, the ASSt at SOO level, add in his time as asst at the Cows and a brief run as HC at the Dragons.

Failure to obtain the HC role at the Tit's, would not be a ringing endorsement of his HC credentials.
The same could be said about the others who have applied for HC roles in the past and were declined.

 

[CronullaSaint]

If it is true that the saints have the least(or at least before the dolphins game) I am not suppised. We sit back waiting for the opposition to come to us. That is playing it safe and we will make the tackle, but give away a few metres in the process. We have been coached in this play it safe tactic all year and will find it hard to adjust to a more aggressive style.

 

[mattw5]

Flanagan is our coach & needs to be given the time.

His biggest issue is having Dean Young as his assistant & a football manager who is more useless.

Tim Watsford has not been seen since coming into the role all members got was an email that left me uninspired.

Start making changes or f**k off.

 

[possm]

Yes, line-speed in defense was the standout problem against the phins.

Other problems are:
Failure to deal with Suli's bad form. At least if he was on the bench he could cover for edge and center positions.
Failure to drop K Flannagan to reserve grade.
Failure to promote Jett Liu ahead of Lawrie in the prop rotation.
Seclecting RFM in the run-on side.
Selecting Cook at 9 over Liddle.
Not giving CT a proper fitness test.

Willie Peters should be the next NRL coach to come in from England and Saints are best to snap him up ASAP. He has taken a weak Hull KR to win their first comp in 40 years. Againsta Sam Burgess Warrington side that people are praising. He could be the next Robbo/Madge that is coach to come from the ESL and win an NRL shortly after. Willie will also have ideas on which good players to bring from England as Saints cannot attract any young gun to Saints apart from old guys and Atko a bench player for Sharks. Players Managers are off Flanno and only use Saints to bump up their players prices or put mental health cases against. The ban he has copped appears to have stained his name and has remained as nobody wants a bar of him I feel.

Flanno's nepotism will also be the end of him just like Brad Arthur at Parra with his son Jacob Arthur. Maloney had a swipe at Flanno as well which seems to be coming truer each week unfortunately. I hope I am wrong.
