Which coaches are packing their offices in 2020?

No way does Seibold lose his job.

A few years ago you’d have thought Green losing his job was a long shot but it seems he’s on the list.

McGregor would be a top choice but with Flanagan being slow baked for the top job, he’s safe.

It must really burn Dragons fans knowing that year after year, that muppet still graces the locker room.
Last 4 games against nrl teams seibs has lost. Likely lose to cowboys in Townsville and no hope against souffs. The merkin will be gone. He never should have got the gig

It's surely got to be Kearney.

He's been given plenty of chances, the new owners have been clear they demand results, AND most importantly a ready-made replacement (Brown, who has a reputation for going in to rebuild clubs) is there as assistant - one would imagine ready to take over at a second's notice - unlike the situation with other 'coaches in crisis'.

I don't buy the "He's no threat" line for one second.

dunno mate, 25 years and 8 head coaches. Means on average every 3 years we have a clean out.......... but i do get your point.

Today was pathetic, Melbs are one of the benchmark and we couldn’t hang with them in any facet. You can tell they rehearse over and over so that everything is 2nd nature, we looked like a park side. The backs were pathetic but tbh, so was the coaching selections.
Do you think that the Cowboys run in 2017 papered over the concerns that needed to be addressed and has hurt the Cowboys in the long term? Can't help but think that Green is just living of the premiership and September 2017. If he fails this year that should be the end of him.

Ah, the old start strong myth again. I'm not sure something that's happened maybe 3 times since the JV counts as a 'yearly trend.' Though the short bus "journos" at foxsports will probably run with it again this year and the gullible opposition fans will believe it yet again

It’s been a fairly regular occurrence under Mary actually.

Not really sure why Pay's under consideration - Des & Raelene dug his hole and threw him in it - deserves at least one more season IMO given the lack of ability to actually change the squad.
I doubt he is. Club legend and all, who has done a thankless job with a messed up club. If they want to move on they'll quietly ask him to step aside and he'll remain at the club in some capacity.

He'll be right. They've got a brand new stadium. Who were the last club who didn't do well in a brand new stadium?

The big I could lose every game and be safe this year.

Safe as well. Club bosses love him. Like the Broncos fans expect the good times to last forever. His sides have been competitive every year except last year when he lost a key forward.

Yeah but that was all due to tries from kicks, doesn't count

So essentially it's happened twice after a decent chunk of the season, all under an embarrasslingly inept, deluded pathetic excuse for a "coach."
