Quote: Irregs#16 "It CANNOT be Brian McDermott.
We can't go from Rowley (young, with an exciting and attractive brand of Rugby), to a dinosaur like McDermott. Myler said in the interview that we need to decide as a club what we want our style of play to be, what does a Hull FC full back, number 7 etc. look like. Changing drastic course between those 2 coaching options goes against Myler's interview'"
Was shocked to see that McDermott is only 5 years older than Rowley! Poor Brian’s paper round must’ve been in Chernobyl.
It’s a very tricky time to be appointing a coach, it looks inevitable that Leeds will be sacking Rohan in the near future, and let’s be right, if Leeds are Hull come calling, Leeds is the more glamorous option.
That been said, I think it would be wise at this stage to not rush into a second option, there were 3 names at the time shortlisted, so who knows who the other two are.
It’s been stressed how vital it is we get this appointment right, if it means biding our time and having a couple rejections along the way then so be it. Grix has been told that the job is his till end of the year, maybe that is telling that the hunt for a new coach may take longer than the 2-3 weeks we’d originally hoped for.
