Quote ="sally cinnamon"How has he 'failed in every coaching appointment'.
From what I remember he has basically had three coaching appointments:
- Salford assistant coach (Didn't Salford get 5th place in his first season, then he left half way through his second)
- Warrington assistant coach (Didn't Warrington win the Challenge Cup)
- Warrington head coach (flying start then it went to pot)
I don't doubt that he needs a longer apprenticeship before he gets a head coach job again but the clubs where he has been assistant coach have had a measure of success, how much of that is due to his input who knows but you can't say categorically he has failed.
Tony Smith seems to have a lot of faith in him and when they were a coaching duo together for Great Britain we beat the Kiwis 3-0.'"
I don't think you'll find many Salford fans desperate to have him back with them, the club didn't take him on when the post became vacant
He was then Culls defensive coach when we shipped about 27 points per match
He took over as head coach when Cull "left" and we continued to ship as many points despite 2 or 3 decent results at the start
This season started disasterously and only picked up when TS took over. On the 2 games when Jimmy has had a few days alone with the squad we lost games badly, Bradford were playing poorly but they beat us at home; Huddersfield (I think) murdered us.
Where is there any evidence that he can step up to be a top line coach? I don't understand why TS and the club have faith in him
