I'd be massively underwhelmed.

The Hull FC head coach poistion is one of the top three coaching jobs in Super League. We should aim higher.

Falls into the same category as Noble for me, huge improvement on Agar but hopefully under Pearson we can set our sights a bit higher.

Can i just add that i do not want Morgan as our coach. Thats not to say i dont think he'd do a good job but i couldnt face having an ex KR coach at the helm and imo he would never be acceopted by the faithful. Ill also add that id prefer us to keep away from a young up and coming aussie at this time as i dont think its what the club needs after the dreadful Sharp and now Agar eras. If he's aussie he has to be top of the line like Foulkes or Anderson.

I don't care that morgan would be teh ex dobbins coach, it's the fact he's only marginally better than agar that would put me off

No its not.

I suspect most top coaches would rather coach Wire, Wigan, Saints or Leeds before Hull.

They would rather coach, where the most lucrative offer is made from.

Ditto

I dont feel Matterson could lift us, to challenge Wigan or Warrington.

We need a proven NRL coach, who can take a side into playoffs.

Anderson or Folkes or Brian Smith.

Morgan has had a better coaching career in SL than Agar, yet he is been removed,

IF we want a good coach, we'll have to move quick.

I agree. Given the dross that's been served up, Adam should look for the biggest name going. The problem will be finding him and competing with clubs in SL and the NRL for him.

There's a few clubs looking for new coaches, so I suppose it'll come down to Adam's negotiation skills, not to mention cash!!

One things for sure, 99.9% of fans want a change, but you can guarantee whoever gets the job won't please 100% of people! If we ended up with Matterson after missing out on preferred targets i wouldn't be too upset.

I think a change of coach will drastically change people's mindset...come on Adam, put us out of our misery!

So they wouldn't be influenced by matters like the opportunity to work with the best players, appear in major finals or win trophies then?

An example is Wayne Bennett,

moved from Brisbane to St George,
now moving to Newcastle , who have a new owner, Bennett is now the highest paid coach in the NRL.

I'm not so sure he is only 'marginally' better.

His attention to detail is freakish, his tip sheets take hours to compile and his scrutiny of the oppo team leaves nothing unturned.

Until outside interference he held a very happy and very solid dressing room for a long time.

KR spent £60,000 on Sports Science this year with the Uni, including paying the fee's of two students, something I believe was a unique idea at the time. He is also a massive advocate of S and C being the biggest job at the club and Rovers were one of the first using GPS I think.

I honestly feel that given Hull FC's squad, budget, outstanding facilities and Chairman, Morgs could turn Hull into a top 6 side almost immediately looking at how close they have come to getting it right several times this season.

However I dont see him being offered the job because Pearson knows a big name is needed to sell season tickets.

He has just bought a house in Kirkella though so who knows

A poor shortlist of 3 - IMHO.

Matterson is pretty well respected, especially back home, but mainly as an Assistant.

He has done ok with the Tigers but I agree, not a very exciting trio really.

I feel its time for a proven Head coach, we had an unproven head coach for 3 years,

In your opinion,

What about Anderson,Brian Smith or Folkes??

Anderson and Folkes yes, offer them serious money and let them re-build the club over 4/5 years.

Smith I dont think would want to come back, would be a decent pull if you could get him.

I am not sure the club needs a Coach to come in and try and win things. They need someone to come in and change the whole outlook and build for winning things in three years time with a young hungry squad that can play on for years. Just my thoughts, many others will want instant success.

So are you saying Bennett is no longer interested in winning anything and only went to Newcastle for the money?

Are you saying other "top" coaches are the same?

If so why should we appoint someone like that? What would be the point? We might as well stick with Agar! Or appoint someone young and hungry for success.

A couple of years ago I would have swapped Morgan for Agar like a shot. But not now; he appears to have lost his way and has not coped well with the pressure.

Also AP's publicly stated ambition appears to be more than just top 6 so I hope he's aiming higher with a new coach.

Harris to Leeds or Wigan as a head coach?

Why does newton not want noble ?

Presumbably because he won't be able to influence a strong character like Noble and would prefer someone more malleable?

A better question might be why does Newton care if he isn't going to be there next year?

Nah, as an assistant I think.

All I know is he got a job the Monday following the announcement and I'm lead to believe it is one of those two clubs.

Why would Bennett leave a team packed full of internationals, and move his family from Brisbane to Sydney to coach the Dragons?

Then after winning the Grand Final, with the Dragons,
Why move to the Knights,who their new owner is, one of the richest guys in Australia?

That is exactly what i want. I dont expect it to turn round overnight but i want a whole new ethos at the club that will hopefully reap rewards from year three onwards

Same reason as the Crusaders players wanted rid and the Wigan lot I imagine.

To answer the question of why he would care if Noble was there next year or not, his exact words were "The boys have been given assurances we are not getting Noble in"

Read into that what you will?

His quoted 1 month prep for the Saints cup game dint pan out that well did it?
