OFFICIAL Kevin Walters Steps Down As Broncos Coach

[BroncosFever]

Holy imagine. And will you take it personally when he doesn't?

Why would I give a shit?

You've spent the last 2 years riding him into the turf for no other reason than his dad is the coach, that's basically it. Which to me, is ridiculous.

He's had the best period of his career, at times last season (2023) he was one of our best. It would be a dagger to yourself if the new coach stepped in and named him in Round 1.

No, I've repeated over and over to you, my concern was he'd get his father sacked. I reiterated it over and over to vomit point, but you still kept going on with it. It was never about Billy. It was about his father. You kept ignoring what I was saying and went on with your own wank.

And here we are, having this moronic conversation again. And his father got sacked.

Move on, and get over your infatuation with Billy. I no longer give a shit. The ship sailed. And sank.

Like Max Plath…

Not a single person on here had heard of him or seen him play when he he went to Dolphins- people now saying they're massive Wynnum Colts fans and would have always signed him are talking such lies.

Literally not a single person is saying that, but they are pointing out that it appears to be a blunder from the people who are paid to get it right.

Maybe he didn't want to sign with us & be comparedto his Dad, when he was playing for us.

(exact post counts take rather longer to get).

As you can see, far and away the dominant topic was KW's tenure; the 2023 GF "only" went for over 1k posts. Bringing up the initial post of this thread (by theshed), pretty much indicates the same arguments were circulating then as they would still be over three years later:

I’m definitely not saying Kev should be on the chopping block yet, this was always going to take time and a lot of things are out of his control. But I have not been impressed with many of the things that are in his control. I want Kev to succeed as much as anyone, from a team perspective and because I like the guy, but early signs of not being up to the task are showing in my opinion. Maybe he will find his feet but I think he needs help and I think the club should throw barrels of cash at Bellamy or Bennett to come on in some form.

... and then concluded:

I hope Kev learns from all this and gets the hang of NRL coaching. Being successful under Kev would be a fairytale but I see a coach who is already out of his depth.

So what you’re saying is, I’m the single most important poster in BHQ history? Wow, your words not mine but I guess you have a point

It doesn't fit the Billy wanted Plath gone narrative and white anted him because he was so good.

Very few Broncos go from train and trial to full time. It’s as simple as he saw more chance at Redcliffe.

Well not quite

But the thing was that observations were being made back in '21 that have persisted to the present. Not quite the stopped-clock analogy but plenty prescient enough. I wonder if the issues behind the '22 collapse over the final six games of that campaign were not identified/addressed either, only to rear their ugly head again in the 23/24 preseason and proceed to sink that year ...

As others have said, who said that?

But the fact was he was in our system and our R&R team didn’t make him a priority.

The mistakes just seem to keep piling up, don’t they?

@Sproj, @BroncsFan and @Shane Tronc had wraps on him so please stop talking such lies.

Arthur's 3 year extension, Mariner to put pen to paper in the coming days for a extension and Payne in deep discussions for a long term extension according to Dobbo I’m worried that it’s Dobbo but if all 3 are true, happy fucking days!

The Tigers just took the bait. The Raiders gave them space on the outside, the Tigers went that way and the Raiders shut them down easily. After that Brooks was looking for a settler on the right but the Raiders were happy to hold back. Thinking they had more of an opportunity than they did...

Three posts, after he'd signed with Dolphins.

Which just prove my point.

We can't name a better utility because we never bought one while he was here and fired anyone that came close to him and was ready.

 

[tommy]

My criticism has always been that kevvie called those shots, not billy. From what we know now seems to me I was likely correct.

What is your point exactly?

Given how rare this is, albeit maybe not even in this case, it must be quite the feeling for you.

People are just re-writing history to bag the Broncos for anything and everything.
