Alarm bells started ringing for me through last year’s trade week and I was going to post something at the time but thought I was just being overly emotional. As time has passed it seems that maybe it was more than just emotion and maybe my concerns were real. The only way I’d be happy for TW to remain coach would be if he was kept away from anything to do with recruitment, trades, or player development.
Otherwise, left to his own devices, we will soon have a list of flashy, but inconsistent, outside flanker, mini sized downhill skier types who couldn’t bruise a fly types.
Opposition teams must be shaking in their boots at the prospect of RFC in 2011. Me, I’m just shaking my head.
How can you have a coach who is so self-absorbed and worried about his own coaching record more than he is the players? My answer is that you can’t, if you want to get anywhere. His coaching style goes skin deep, and that’s being kind.
We lose by 157 points and he comes out and says ‘I’ve never been involved in such a loss’. Well boo hoo for you. What about the players, how must they be feeling about it?
I’m sorry, but he just rubs me the wrong way and I just have no faith left in his ability as a coach whatsoever. If I ever really had any. That’s as honest as I can be about it.
He either has a major major overhaul or he’s taking us nowhere we want to go.
