Next Broncos coach

[Foordy]

Maybe Wayne doesn't want competiton for the job ?

that is another typical load of shit article from Badel.

to sum it up, Morris is asked about whether the board would consider hiring Wayne again. in which case he says that if a serious proposal was put to the board to hire Wayne in some capacity, that it would be given consideration by the board, he holds no grudges and will do what's in the clubs best interests

here are Morris quotes:


“If the board decided they wanted Wayne back, it would be considered,” Morris said.

“Look, if there was a serious proposal put forward for Wayne Bennett to come back to the Broncos, I will put it to the board.

“At the end of the day, I don’t hold grudges.

“My job as chairman is to do the best thing by the Broncos first and foremost. The board is there to provide governance on what is in the best interests of the Broncos and we view matters through that lens.

“For me personalities are taken out. It‘s what’s in the best interests of the club moving forward.”

“To be honest, we had offered Wayne this sort of role (coaching directorship),” he said.


“We will have a new CEO and a new coach in the coming months and they will also have a mature view of what they want on board.

“The Broncos are about progress. Naturally I would find it difficult for Wayne to come back because it would be his third stint at the club, but it‘s not for me alone to rule anyone out.”



“I gave him a letter offering him a role at the club beyond coaching.

You don’t really believe this is what he meant by those words, do you?

I find it strange that some who is so careful with what he says, left any room for interpretation,

He didn’t. Read the words he said again. Walters isn’t a super coach, in fact only 2 maybe 3 current coaches can claim to be even close. Comprehending what Bennett has said is pretty simple

Isn’t a super coach = he’s a bad coach

riiiiiiight

 

[Foordy]

riiiiiiight

He didn't give Walters a wrap about his coaching ability at all ... just said he would unify the club

 

[Dexter]

I agree with Foordy. Wayne could have easily endorsed Kevs coaching capabilities at the same time. It seems he chose not to.

It pretty much boils down to what we already knew . Green has the runs on the board, Kevvie is what the club needs right now.

here are Bennett's comments on Walters ... I could be reading this wrong, but it seems like while he is saying Walters is what the club needs right now, he is not giving him a wrap as a coach. (see bolded)


“The big thing for me is that Kevin would unify everybody at the Broncos.

“He was a great player for the club, the fans love him and as a Broncos coach, the Queensland people have to have that confidence in you.

“Right now, the Broncos need to be unified, rather than someone in there being a super coach.

“Kevin is not a divisive person.”

I kind of read it more along the lines of suggesting that the broncos shouldn't try to be 'cute' with this selection and hunt down a 'super coach' (i.e. an interim arrangement to try and snag Bellamy OR a super tactician)... because right now the club needs a coach that everyone can rally behind (fans, stakeholders, old boys, playing group, etc.) and the obvious choice in that regards is Kevvie given his history with the club.

Bringing in a coach that has little to no history with the broncos is a huge gamble and could end up like Seibold 2.0

It’s funny how Wayne’s opinion matters now though. I thought he was just a conceited old has been?

Bennett said Walters isn't a super coach, which he sure as shit is not. I don't think anyone alive rates Walters as a coaching marvel.
But we do need someone who's personality and aura around the club can reunite the back and front office and restore pride in the jersey.

When you're the worst team in the competition, it's not about being premiers next year, it's about restoring an acceptable baseline and in 2-3 years we re-assess and see what happens. If Walters turns out to be a super coach, shit I'd be as happy as anyone but he's more than likely just going to make this club a competitive outfit again who's coaching ability will be found out in the finals.

I can tell you who isn't a super coach, and won't unify the club, it's Green, so if it's between those two the club should have offered Walters the job last month.

Of course kevie isn’t a super coach, he’s never had the chance in the nrl to prove such a thing. But he’s done a decent job with qld considering the cattle he had to work with. Just appoint him already.

Please god don’t get green....

 

[Skyblues87]

3 other clubs have all appointed coaches in short order.
Only the dogs are a hold out but they are a basket case on and off the field - like us!

They all sacked there coaches weeks before Seibold so guess our timescale is relevant.

I take that as another backhander at Seibold, not KW. I think he is having a crack at how Seibold came in and tried to change everything up.

Lol now you mention it

this coming from the king of the agendas

Wayne Bennett said and i quote “Right now, the Broncos need to be unified, rather than someone in there being a super coach."

this implies he doesn't rate Walters as a quality coach ... if he did he could have said something like "not only will Kev be able to unify the club, but he is also a quality coach" or something like that ... but he didn't he made it seem like we have to choose between unification and a having a super coach"

FTR, i don't think there is anyone on the planet that doesn't believe that Walters can unify this club ... the questions are over his capabilities as a head coach.

Or it implies for Walters not to over coach this team but to bring them together first. But I mean could be wrong

 

[Broncapz]

From what I can tell is that Brisbane aren't going to just rely on a coach to fix everything, they're going to be really looking hard at the team around the team. If they get that right, then Kevvy will be the perfect figurehead.

I think that was quoted from Morris last week and to me that seemed a pretty big takeaway from recent quotes.

When he specifically talked about assistants and not just the coach, that seems to be leaning towards Kevvie a bit more than Green... All the media has been talking about him needing good assistants so that being quoted was a bit of a trigger.

With Green he has been coaching for a few years now so if you are intending to go with him then you would think they allow him to shape the footballing department to how he wants it i.e. you as a club are not looking for assistants, because he will pick his own... when they brought Seibold in I doubt they provided too much input and instead left it to him.

It kind of gives you a sense that maybe they have been working with Kevvie about who he is proposing for his assistants and maybe they're doing a bit more vetting??

Kevvie hasn't been a full time coach before, so he doesn't have a ready made team to bring in with him... Potentially the assistants he wants are under contract elsewhere (please let Neil Henry be one of them) or have existing commitments, and negotiations are required to get them away

Show me where I have said anything like that.

No it doesn’t it means they don’t need a coach going in there with new super ideas. They need a unifying coach. They don’t need will that work or I don’t like that idea.
