I doubt he will do anything for SAlford, but I could be wrong, teams that he has coached have played dull boring rugby and watching wales is like watching paint dry, one up rugby with a last tackle kick"............time will tell but Salford can't buy success it's more embedded. I team that succeeds like LEeds have done over the last ten years is built on local talent and a will to work for each other, signing players like Tim smith, hock and rangi chase are there for the money and no more. It's a recipe for disaster.

Strange choice Judas Harris has no real record as a coach, He could be a good coach but this may take time, but will the good doctor give him time.

Just think what a disaster it would have been had he ever come back to Leeds.

True and Judas was the trigger factor for Bradford going bust.

if he cant guide them into the top 6 at least,I dont see him lasting.immediate success is demanded that is being made clear with this decision.

I think that Harris will eventually have a very successful career as a coach.
I'd be happy to see him back at Leeds in that capacity but can't ever see it happening.
I find all the "Judas" comments pathetic.

Suits the very insular thought process of your average RL fan though.

I have a hunch that Harris will turn out to be a very good coach.

I don't see this move working out, for two reasons:

1) I think it might well be too soon to go into what will be a high-profile, high-pressure head coach's appointment. I see shades of Daryl Powell, who I always thought we chucked in at the deep end too early and I think it damaged his career. He's back in SL now and showing every sign that he'll have a really successful career. I hope we see him back at Headingley one day.

2) I also suspect (hunches, but that's all we have really) that Dr Koukhash will be the type of chairman/owner who has an itchy trigger finger and over-blown expectations. Whether Noble is a top coach or not is almost an irrelevant debate, it's hard to imagine him having done a lot more with what he has to work with at Salford. It will take time and patience to turn them into a top team. If Dr Koukhash has no patience, coaches will get no time. His removal of Noble and his constant "aaarrggh, too slow, I need to buy success NOOOOOOOWWW!!!" exclamations are not the hallmarks of a patient man.

There are some players that you just kind of know from how they read the game when they're playing and how they conduct themselves off the field will be outstanding coaches. Sinfield is one, Edwards is another and so is Harris.

Whether he'll be an outstanding coach at Salford is another matter.

Watching noble on TV yesterday expressing his shock at being removed from his post after the victory at hull,one would think that if the financial package offered to him in his new post was not adequate ,our friends from the legal profession may well become involved .
With reference to Harris , I think he will be a successful coach,he is obviously an intelligent man. Will he get time at salford to build the team that's the big question . Certainly the good doctors behaviour so far is becoming more and more irrational .
It will be interesting to see how Wigan perform without Harris .
Whilst on the subject of coaches,i wonder what the reaction on this board and the clubs will be if we don't win any silverware this season.

Regarding point 1) He as served is time as a assistant coach at both Crusaders(plus one season as head coach) and Wigan learning his trade, so it is nothing like when Daryl got the Leeds gig.

2) This will probably be his downfall.

However I do think that Harris will turn out to be a top coach, just not at Salford
