Shane Flanagan sacked as Assisant Coach at the Dragons.

He still has a year to serve on his head coaching ban in the NRL - not sure if this also applies to Super League.

I'd love him or Paul Green , issue with Flanagan would be he wouldn't stick around long, but if he could have the impact of Holbrook or Mcguire if would be worth a short stay.

Nothing against Last personally, but the club is crying out for someone to come in and take the team by the scruff of the neck. Even fans from other teams say that we’d become one of the big clubs with the right appointment.
Think without covid we’d have gone and got someone, but not sure now.

I know money is very very tight, but I don’t think we can afford not to go and get someone that might turn us round.

I’d settle for someone coming in for a couple of years, turn the culture round, then go back to the NRL.

Bit like Maguire did at Wigan.

Who that is though is the million dollar question

2-3 years?

Utter nonsense. A good leader and tactician could turn fortunes around within 6 months as we are hardly bottom of the table fodder with the players we have.
Anybody taking the "cliched 2-3 years" is:

a. The wrong person for the job
b. Out of a job within a year
c. Won't get past the interview stage

I’m hoping that in 2-3 years they’ve come in, changed the team around, gone back to the NRL

Huddersfield also looking for a new coach next year, not sure not renewing Woolfords contract is a good decision, think he has done a decent job under the circumstances, certainly done well bringing young players in.

Apparently all by mutual consent, maybe had enough and been offered a role in NRL.

I read somewhere he has been offered a role in the NFL
Done a good job at Hudds.They have been very unlucky in some games

A bit of a leap from Rugby League to American Football?

Our current coaching set up is poop

Really, why?

I don't think many would agree, but that would be my choice. He ticks the boxes for me.

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.hull ... 518658.amp Seems the players are buying into Andy Last. Think he’ll get the gig myself in these uncertain times (on a rolling contract). Backed up by Purtill and The Legend that is Gaz Ellis.

I don't think he will, the players are going to say that, I'm not even sure Last will want the job.

Good point. Last may be happier in the background.

I don't see how it isn't any clearer than it is right now.

Andy Last is a jinx - not a Head Coach. If he was any good he would be a Head Coach by now and absolutely he would have been picked up after the 2 CC wins. Why oh Why wasn't he head hunted ? and why hasn't he shown any desire to move up? He'd still be an asst if LR was still there!
He's an asst at York at best.

No hard feelings - Head Coach is the toughest of jobs. The pressure is immense. Who'd want that role? Andy Last may well love being an Asst.

like a lot have said on here, lets get Smith from rovers, great coach and boy does that team play attractive rugby,

Tony Smith is a great knock out rugby coach as well

Tony’s past his prime

We need a McGuire type coach

He did amazing at Wigan and would have made them a force if he hadn’t have moved on

The recently retired head coach of Cowboys could do an amazing job at Hull

Disciplinarian or entertainer?

Winner

Needs to be appointed ASAP, so he can start putting things in place for next season. We wont sign the players we need to improve for next season, so he will have work with what he has (Which will be a worst squad than this year), it will take at least a year and this season and next is about building,playing young kids and trying to play some rugby and get some confidence back.

Depends on finances I guess. Now we're out of the cup I think we need some clarity on 2021 plans. Assuming there'll be some season pass news soon, obviously with a caretaker coach people will want an update before committing.

It’s going to be have to be a calculated risk by AP.
Do nothing and many won’t bother renewing, leaving us more at risk financially than we are now.

It's a real issue for all clubs. Supporters have not been to games for six months, many have found other things to do with their time. Membership holders will naturally be thinking having spent hundreds this year to attend four games do they want to risk the same money for nothing in 2021 should restrictions still apply. Many supporters will have had a reduced income for months and sadly some will have lost their employment all together.

Even harder for clubs struggling for form such as ourselves. Pearson needs to act quickly.
