Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

[Mr Spock!]

A long term deal that hasn't won anything?

More than Brad Arthur....

 

[Mr Spock!]

By 'anything' do you mean premierships? What do you think is required to win a premiership? And is a coach enough to put all of that in place?

Well ask Mary McGregor...

How many years was Jack Gibson at clubs?

What long term deal has he signed? He keeps signing little ones.

McGregor had unfinished business. Gibson didn't.

I can never understand why clubs sign coaches to long term deals who havent won anything.

They’re building mate. 7 years and still going strong.

 

[Mr Spock!]

What long term deal has he signed? He keeps signing little ones.

7 years for someone whose never won anything.

Is he still rebuilding?

We signed Hagan after he won something. That went well.

Why did the dogs sack pay and cows sack green? Are they chasing a premiership?

 

[Mr Spock!]

We signed Hagan after he won something. That went well.

And you got rid of him after 2 years.

You didn't hang onto him for a decade....of rebuilding

 

[Gary Gutful]

The Cows sacked Green because he hasn't won anything.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Haven't you seen that photo?!

Paul Green started as head coach the same time as Arthur.....

Get the 5 greenbacks ready merkin.

Your original point was that you dont understand clubs signing coaches to long term deals when they haven't won anything. It was then highlighted that BA hasn't actually been signed to a long term deal.

I then suggested Hagan because a coach who has 'won something' doesn't always guarantee success because there are plenty other factors that go into winning a premiership.

won a title. Lost a gf. Sacked before BA. Not sure the cows are chasing premierships thou. Maybe they’re chasing unicorns.

Haha.

Yeah, I'm in a world of shit with that bet...I might also need some napisan.

Jack Gibson coaching record
1967–68 Eastern Suburbs 46 27 3 16 59
1970–71 St. George 49 33 1 15 67
1973 Newtown Jets 26 16 1 9 62
1974–76 Eastern Suburbs 73 56 1 16 77
1978–79 South Sydney 44 21 1 22 48
1981–83 Parramatta Eels 84 61 1 22 73
1985–87 Cronulla-Sutherland 72 31 1 39 43

The whole rebuilding thing is a scam by coaches justifying being signed for 10 years and never winning anything.

It’s ok merkin, sounds like you need it more than me anyways. Keep it.

Thanks for making my point for me. A premiership winning coach sacked before a bloke who's flat out getting to the finals.

We chopped and changed coaches for a long period between Smith and Arthur.

During which period have we had the most sustained level of performance - when we chopped and changed coaches or when we stuck solid?

I think sticking with BA has helped us become more consistent, but granted he may not go a step further and get us a premiership. On the plus side you'll likely be $500 richer.
