Seriously ? Just out of interest any reason in particular ?

His Trophy record is 2nd to none & he absolutely deserves plenty of plaudits just as he ,the Team & GH should be questioned/criticised when it goes wrong.

Even I wouldn't say he's the best coach ever, my thing is his deserves way more respect and credit than he does get.

The above post, yes he should get questioned and criticised when things go wrong but we all know really that it goes far far beyond well reasoned questioning and critique.

That's a fair point.

Big Mac has also taken flack off myself but that sky interview WOW! How passionate is the guy in Leeds rhinos. Onto next week I don't see how we can over turn the recent Cas results and win but the man deserves plaudits for the way people have questioned him whenever we don't like a certain result. FWIW whatever next week brings it should bring down the curtain for his rhinos tenure as i feel it needs freshening up. If it does a BIG thank you Brian.

Just seen the trailer for the "As good as it gets" documentary film (actually first I'd heard about it). Wonder if that might finally convert a few BMac haters... www.thecitytalking.com/as-good-as-it-gets/

Looks like a more personal in depth look than the club friendly generic responses interviews in the Golden Generation DVD the club did a couple of years ago.

Ditto !



< edit > actually i've been called most of those, and more, for years. Sucks to be a Leeds fan on Southstander.

Glad to see a thread like this. I've always been in the Mac camp. Still am.

Supporters of other teams must think Leeds fans are mad for wanting McDermott out given the success we have had under him. It really is bizarre how unpopular he is.

Ive never been a huge McDermott out man but i must admit ive called for change this season saying his time was up and yet here we are at the last dance again.

Hes a polarising figure thats for sure and i think he likes that. He rarely engages with fans but thats just his way. It hard at this moment in time to argue with his record thats without doubt.

Firstly, having witnessed how emotional he was after the game, no-one could possibly doubt how much he cares about the club, the players and achieving the overall collective goal. In my opinion, the more you care, the more successful you will be.

I am not his greatest fan as a coach but I have never seen the need to attack him personally and to vilify him. To those that have, shame on you, because he is clearly a genuinely decent person.

The results over the last few years have been at best inconsistent and, at worst, woeful. Furthermore, given the players he has had at his disposal, the number of truly convincing performances achieved during his tenure has been disappointing. However, you cannot argue with results and he has achieved in that department.
