Here's the thing - it doesn't have to be 100% the coach's fault and not 100% the players' fault. It's a lot from column A and a lot from column B.
McFail needs to go because he has done so, so much wrong. 2.75 seasons in and he has no idea what his best side is. We've never looked like we have an identity as a side. Our CEO has harped on about accountability and top 8/6 performance, and we're going to end up 10th, or 11th if you go on wins. Shithouse. No improvement seen in his team, has to go.
Having said that, good luck coaching us. Trent Robinson is a premiership winning coach, who had a side with SBW and a lot of stars. If he'd ended up here, he might be an unemployed no-hoper with no future job prospects. That's how good we are at coach killing. The Stupid Six, I'm not sure that is attributable to malaise with our coach. If it is, it's still no excuse. The senior players should have known a lot, lot better. McClennan I'm certain cannot coach. Elliott, tried and failed. McFadden, he may go on to be okay. But he needs more time as an assistant under a good head coach, and unfortunately for him and us was thrown in way too early then extended by a muppet CEO. So you can sympathise for where he finds himself. He doesn't mean to be a shit coach, I'm sure he's a hard-working, good fella.
