From that list, I'd choose.
Holbrook
Morgan
Taylor
Morris.
Barrett
McDermott
These 6 have had previous experience as a Manager.

Some have failed in those positions though and we have just sacked one of the most successful and experienced SL coaches in history.

IMO if it was 2018, Rowley takes the job. Regardless of Smith failing I think that will raise some eyebrows out there. I dare even say, if KR offered him the job he would take it.

In an ideal world we would get confirmation of investors, the next wayne bennett and announce Bevan French. That isnt going to happen.

If the signings were correct 2026 could see us right up there, I echo Dave Ks thoughts where we have youngsters who will provide greater depth.

But the main priority is steadying the ship, get some wins under the belt and slowly start to put the puzzle pieces together. Until we can stop the rot, getting a better atmosphere around the club we will continue to miss out on top targets.

Thats why its important even if its a long shot to not give up on this season. I do think we will sign a scrum half but that wont happen till we have a new coach in my opinion.

Far from it,never have and never will be
That said as a club they are miles ahead of us and a coach who knows what he is doing.
They are also pro active in the transfer market with another great signing for the future in Broadbent.
said months ago along with one or two others we should try and sign him as a future centre but could have also played in the halfs tillTruemen was back which would have helped us a lot.
You and some of your mates on here should get real.
This club is on its knees and its all to do with poor management.
Myler and his pot of money is a joke.Would he have got the job if he didnt come with his bag of money NO.
Other than selling merchandise the club is clueless

I'm surprised Jim Dymock hasn't kicked on with his coaching career . He was touted as a possible first team coach by many within the game a few years back .

Physio, fitness expert and now recruitment manager, is there anything you can't do?

Apologies, forgot travel expert too.

He can’t get that sock of his todger, on match day.

Smile, be positive and partake in fun activities.

What do I win ?

Gutted we have missed out on Rowley, but it's not back to the drawing board completely.
Didn't Myler say he had a 3 person shortlist?

Yeah he did. Said it would be a quick appointment too....

If Lee Briers wasn’t on that list then I hope he has now picked up the phone and had a good long conversation with him to see what his intentions are?

Read a few posters say other candidates would be put off
for not being first choice…
It wouldn’t bother me if I was third choice if I got offered a
£100k + salary . Maybe I am shallow?

As long as it’s not Justin Morgan. Don’t want another ex kr coach.

Let's say for purely speculative purposes that the above comes to pass, we somehow defeat Leeds who promptly sack R. Smith and persuade Rowley/Salford to come and be their new coach.

In the days that follow, we then go and appoint Rohan Smith as our new coach!!
So, having sacked Uncle Tony three weeks previous, and then having pushed Leeds into making a sudden abrupt change in their coaching set-up, we then go and appoint Nephew Rohan as Uncle Tony's replacement!!

Surely not even we could contemplate going down that road, could we? that would be perverse even by the mad-house standards that is Hull Fc 2024!!!

Mind you, I wouldn't dismiss any theory/possibility right now such is the unreal air surrounding the club. Honestly don't think anything would surprise me any more with us!!

https://youtu.be/QRUSeYxWykY?si=n6EEzHhWNdnQOgfS Jenna Brooks hearing Lee Briers and Brian Mcdermott for what it's worth

If we appoint Mcdermott I won't be renewing my pass. Terrible coach

He and Pearson had a tiff in the media about Pearson questioning what Toronto contributed to SL, whether thats enough to rule him out I dont knowl

Danny Mcguire was in the Double Tree Hilton last night. ( That's not a joke by the way

)

As long as he wasn't sat with Myler

Think Mcdermott would be too like Smith, we need a coach to bring the team together, don't think he is that person.

Honestly rather have Horne.
Think we will go for Briers if he turns us down I think we will try for Mcguire.Just have a feeling we are after a young British coach

Personally I feel this job, is too big and has too many pitfalls for an inexperienced Manager.
We've been here before with Agar,Gentle, Radford and Hodgson.
This squad needs to be physically fitter and stronger , and they need clarity from the Manager on defensive and offensive structure.
Unfortunately Tony Smith was reluctant or unable on both of these points.
If the guy appointed is inexperienced, I hope I am proved wrong.

I'm not against brining in an assistant, but they need to be from a good system. I'd feel really un easy about brining as assistant from one basketcase club to another.

Not sure what McGuire has done to prove himself as a top assistant. Look at how Briers transformed Wigans and Brisbanes attack, from the outside it doesn't look like McGuire has had the same impact at Rovers or Cas. Plus i think his links to Rovers and Leeds would mean fans may turn on him quicker as he's not seen as "one of us".

I thought McGuire turned down the chance to coach Cas , That's why Lingard got it ?

For me, Rowley wS the only viable UK based option. Now we need to go for an overseas experienced assistant who has some fresh ideas and a new perspective on things. Any of the other names mentioned would be a big disappointment and a massive risk for me

Not suprised Mcguire turned down Cas, he is a smart bloke and saw the squad and resources. Think he'd take the right job, think he would have took the Rovers job if offered it.


Thought he did well at Rovers and was a big part in turning them around.

Saying that don't think he was what we need just have a feeling he could be an option.
