Sinfield has never once shown an interest in coaching, quite the opposite.

Sinfield gives a dimension that Demetriou can't i.e. an understanding of what is required in really big games - Leeds needs some inspiration from someone who has been in the trenches and won the war - Demetriou may well be a longer term plan but he isn't a man for the here and now.

Players need to respect the voice and believe it - what has Demetriou got on that score - he's coached some second grade teams to win a meaningless competition in Australia. Very average player in his time in SL

and whats sinfield done coach wise? nothing. no interest in doing the job and great players often dont make great coaches

For me a good coaching team would be Tony Smith and Rob Burrow but then if you take Rob from the Academy you need to find a successor? I’d also find a spot for Chev Walker . TS to mentor both with a view of developing a long term successor. I keep hearing we have good coaches in the background at Leeds can none of these be developed alongside a mentor type personality?

That is not what is needed right now - what is needed is inspiration and belief - Sinfield dragged those and many of the players still there to heights they never believed possible.

Head coaching isn't about technical skill - which is why Kear has never reached the heights its about people management - something Sinfield is pretty obviously pretty good at.

Your a football man - why was Ferguson such a good coach - why is Bennett held in such high regard etc.

sorry david cant agree with you.he doesn't even want to coach. you want inspirational talks go get near.
you were right before. Kearney is the man

Which sadly is why you will never see him involved at Leeds ever again

Long term definitely - but short term something needs to change and quick and that is where Sinfield comes in - been there done it - led a group of men to the promised land - a brothel in Delph

Leeds need a quick fix - not a coaching guru - it takes too long, Smith's back to basics would take the rest of the season on the pre-season - it simply wont work

It would be foolish for Sinfield to ever coach Leeds, even if he was interested. After his reputation as a player, it could only get worse after entering the fray as a coach. Just look at Cunningham at Saints.

Different quality of individual - this is a short-term measure until a proper coach is appointed.

It will never happen - GH is a typical Yorkshireman - if you upset them there is no coming back sadly the worst trait of most Yorkshiremen - stubborness

No, it wouldn’t happen because he’d have no credentials or interest in coaching.

Does Sol Paradise just make stuff up? This black/white stuff of grudges and aggrievement bears very little relationship to the reality of how the grown ups involved actually behave.

Absolutely. I can also see Sinfield (who, again, has no interest in coaching) going back to a leeds team in free fall to possibly (small chance though it may be) over see their relegation to tarnish the legacy. Sounds like the musings of a teenage fan.

I'm sure Brian could shout and inspire. in fact he definitely could. he could coach defensive or attacking shape though and that's what we need right now. some leadership.

Yes he does.
