In the highly unlikely event that McDermott finds himself in the Job Centre queue come October, what are everyone's thought about having [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/14354122.stmMr Kear[/url at the helm?

0/10

Surely he'll be Castleford bound?

No real improvement for me....I mean JK's record of winning things isnt much better than Mac's really is it. IF Mcdermott was dumped, (and I doubt its going to happen anyway if you read my topic I have just posted re a potential top four finish), I would hope an Aussie coach would be sought as a replacement.

He's won two challenge cups at least! That's two more pieces of silverware than McD.

we should bring him in for Wembley if we can squeeze past Cas with our present inept coaching icon_smile.gif

TVOC I believe Justin Morgan is Cas bound and JK or Noble will end up at HKR.

The amount of guff in this thread makes it hard to know where to start.

According to a senior player who left wakey this year " facilities, ground , coach "

Kear may have won a couple of challenge cups I agree, but as a long term option, thinking about a coach who would oversee a return to SL success, if McDermott was to be dumped, an Aussie coach would be my preference. Even Salford have gone down that route with Parrish, because they see that as a better option than an English coach.
But, as I say, it's all irrelevant, because I reckon McDermott is going nowhere next season.

If we want a hobbit as coach I'd rather have Bilbo than Kear.

Who's this Aussie coach then? Parish could well turn out to be average. Incidentally, what are people's opinions of Mick Potters impact on the Bulls?

I take the point about Parish, but it's just the point that Salford saw him as a better option than an English coach that speaks volumes for me regarding the current perception of English coaches in SL.
As for Potter at the Bulls, did anyone actually expect him to make a massive difference given the rescources he has to work with there?

Potter IMO is achieving similar to McDermott at Leeds, relative to their respective resources.

You can pinch our current clown of a coach if you like??? Hard to believe we actually downgraded from McDermott I know...

Nathan brown just seen playing with a coat hanger and Morgan with a water bottle on Sky, laughable, no wonder their sides are going down hill.

No thank you

I hear that Cas are interested in Darryl Powell.

I think i'd rather have Brian Noble instead of John Kear, but who ever gets the job give McDumbnut a good kick out of the door too!!!!

I like John Kear, but as a coach his level seems to be at getting good performance out of a lower-echelon team. Not for us please.

I'm in the apparent minority that would like to see Noble at Leeds.

A minority that doesn't even include Noble himself, apparently.

That would certainly seem to make such a move less likely.

Nope another Aussie for us guys

McDermott is here to stay I'm afraid. Leeds will win the CC this year thus "vindicating" GH.

yes I also have a slight hunch about the CC and us winning it.I also think McDermott will retain his job anyway even if we have a Bulls type slump.We are stuck with him
