This exactly where I'm at. Our defence has been shit for years, even during our last two grand final years. I don't think Teo brought that much to the table re: defence. I think the bigger issue was that the players seemed to love him being around. They all talked highly of him from what I've seen.
In his defense, and I can't believe I'm saying this, they are last year's premiers and being in the bottom three is a pretty big deal.
On the flip side, the media love to kick the Broncs when they are down.
Talk of Madge not being the right guy is crazy. Just like you said who else would do it? Anyone that takes this job will get absolutely bashed.
Madge is the man.
