Eels Next Coach

[emjaycee]

Well thanks to our quick thinking R&R committee MA is already locked away until 2026 and Sarantinos said no one has a coach clause in there contract.

So Boods is going nowhere until 2027 at the earliest and by then we would have a better idea on how good he may or may not be to judge his ability and weather he is worth persisting with.

The new coach will get 12 months as well to see what he has to offer and build a relationship with.

He might have a Dad clause though!

 

[Pazza]

Theres no guarantee BAs gonna get another head coaching gig, maybe the tigers if Marshall fall completely flat. The game has gone past him and his complete lack of willingness to innovate and self scout isnt going to be appealing to other clubs.

He'll land an assistant role with no trouble.

given how BA treats the hooking position would MA really wanna play under him?

2022 was a lot more recent than 2018. Why would they think they needed a new coach after one bad season? Bennett's team went worse than Arthur's last year. His last premiership was before Arthur started coaching.

So why did they think we needed a new one after 10 games without our halfback?

BA will be the favourite to get a gig with whatever HC coaching gig comes up in the next 12-18 months.

He has better credentials then any untried rookie and any other coach looking for a 2nd chance.

I suspect he won't be out for too long.

BA's greatest crime as a coach he was here too long.

I reckon he will have a HC role by 2026 at the latest.

 

[hindy111]

Just listened to BA on Grandstand. Whatever you think of him as a coach, imo it needs to be separated from the bloke he is. He’s a good man. ( and I reckon MA will leave based on his last comment)

I'd say 95% of people are good people.

I’d say you are overstating that by about 60%

does he? 11 seasons and only won a spoon.....

Yep Manly or Cowboys, whoever fires their coach first.

So why did they think we needed a new one after 10 games without our halfback?

Because a powerful player agent wanted him gone. Ultimately, rugby league success is about players not coaches. Some very ordinary coaches have won premierships since Bennett’s most recent grand final win. It’s because they had quality teams.

His win rate is good, especially since 2019.

I tell you something. A coach will have a big say on a players position. I had a good chat to a mate of mine. Eels fan. Very smart guy.
He said to me BA done a good job. We had a nice stable period and if it wasn't for Hayne in 2015 leaving and the salary cap dramas in 2016 we probably make the 8 and that's finals 7/10 yrs. I'd say out of 11yrs as he screwed this season up.
He was a goood coach and players liked him. But never where we ever consistent or did I feel we could win a comp while he was coach. Nobody did. But he still did a good job for the club. It's been a very nice period for the fans considering we where basically like the Tigers.
But his time was up. We are now a stronger club and Parra is a huge city. We need someone who is well spoken and more marketable for sponsorships etc.

remarkable given the lack of resources

 

[hineyrulz]

Lets me guess. It’s a business, loyalty is dead.

Yeah Parra was so disloyal to Brad.

 

[hineyrulz]

remarkable given the lack of resources

Brad should have been given a life time contract given the lack of resources he had to deal with. No one could do better.

What was his last comment?

"Matty is leaving"

it was tough watching brad and his kids panhandling on church st just so gutho could continue to live on the northern beaches...

Here’s the interview merkins ( also posted it in the rumours thread. You can make up your own minds about his comment on Booods.

Brad Arthur: I'm not hiding from anyone - ABC listen

Brad Arthur has handled his departure from Parramatta in the same way he did things while he was coaching. He's fronted up to every interview, has been open and honest and found time to chat to Andrew Moore and the team. He talked his highlights during his tenure and his admiration for the...

If we hire Cheika get ready to have Adam doozie somewhere in the te

I don't know why you guys are so excited about cheika,

His win rate is good, especially since 2019.

Not in the finals mr 30% failure when it matters most. He gets found out in the finals. One of the worst statistical finals win percentages of all time.
His regular season % rate was a con job.

Matty leaving means BA is finally putting his family first. So touching.
